Latina Bloggers: Rise of the Mami Blogueras Part 2

September 3rd, 2010 6 Comments

As mentioned on my last blog post, Latina Bloggers: Rise of the Mami Blogueras Part 1, moms have strong purchasing power and their consumer behavior is based around their family, lifestyle and life experiences. The above graph was researched by Advertising Age and you can see that the top three purchasing influences are personal care, clothing and books. Marketers need to develop strategical campaigns that will help drive brand loyalty and product purchases for each of these purchasing influences. The greatest challenge lies in capturing the interest of the Latina moms and that’s where the mami blogueras comes in. Mami blogueras not only post product information and reviews but also personal experiences and how it involves the everyday lives of their families. Marketers are now taking a closer look at the mami blogueras as they utilize their blogs to monitor product satisfaction and to encourage personal product reviews to boost overall popularity. One perfect example is General Mill’s QueRicaVida, a site focusing on Latina moms and families. They celebrated its re-launch by inviting Hispanic journalists and bloggers to a special gala in Miami and of course the very special guests are the mami blogueras because they are the key element in QueRicaVida’s online media campaigns.

Latina Bloggers: Rise of the Mami Blogueras Part 1

August 30th, 2010 2 Comments

A recent conference focusing on successful women bloggers held in New York City called the BlogHer Conference 2010 with the support of LATISM (Latinos in Social Media) is proof that now more than ever Latina bloggers have the ability to utilize online media, control content, gather information and be involved with communities of shared interests. One particular niche that caught my interest are the Latina mommy bloggers or the “mami blogueras.” After some time researching I can see why the mami blogueras are becoming the ultimate resources for parenting tips, shopping, cooking and family care.

When we think of branding, we think of ads, radio and television commercials, special events; any form of medium that will communicate to the audience. Normally we have imagery and text that are combined in a way to tell a story to the intended target market the value of a product or service. That’s what branding and advertising is all about, good storytelling.

Latino artist combines urban pop and Latino culture into visually stunning art

August 10th, 2010 No Comments

: Sun of Spanish Harlem by Santiago

This blog was something I needed to post because this is an artist that everyone should check out whether your Latino or non-Latino. I happened to find New York based artist, Santiago, on Facebook through a fellow colleague of Latino cultural studies and also an online mentor, George “Urban Jibaro” Torres. George also has his own blog called Sofrito for Your Soul, a great blog that promotes Latino cultural heritage.

After seeing some of Santiago’s artworks on his Facebook Fanpage, I went ahead and studied his personal website, RiceandBeanz.net and what I saw visually blew me away. As an Art major at the University of North Texas, I was in classes that focused on European art studies, which is good but I wanted to study more art within Latin American culture. Fortunately, they offered a Spanish Colonial Art class before I graduated which really encouraged me to research Latin American art on my own. (more…)

My video spotlight: A Visit to the Latino Cultural Center of Dallas

July 23rd, 2010 2 Comments

Well, it took quite some time but I managed to complete a fun digital video project about the Latino Cultural Center of Dallas. This was a video project that I felt was a great way to help promote the knowledge of Latino art and culture here in Dallas. I would like to thank the center’s media coordinator, Irasema Romero, for assisting me. You may know by now of what’s going on in the United States among the Latino population. Politics aside, I think we are so succumbed by the narrow stereotypes portrayed by mass media that some don’t even know the beauty of Latino art and culture and how they help contribute to American society. The Latino Cultural Center of Dallas helps to spread that knowledge to both Latinos and non-Latinos. (more…)

Gooool! Univision is dedicated in covering the 2010 FIFA World Cup for Latinos

June 12th, 2010 No Comments

This week we have seen the first teams play in the 2010 FIFA World Cup of Soccer (or Futbol for the rest of Latin America). Of course, broadcast channels such as ESPN and ABC are covering the games but not as intensely. Latinos living in the United States and Latin America are avid soccer fans, it’s part of the culture as much as baseball and football is part of the United States and that’s where Univision comes in. In this year’s event, Univision, the broadcast network channel that produces programs for Latinos, is going all out to offer soccer fans access to up to date FIFA World Cup information through online and new media technology as well as traditional media campaigns.
