Editor's Notes
Guy Kawasaki, co-founder of Alltop.com interviewed Vic Gundortra, SVP of engineering for Google+-So, when they say Google+ has “100 million monthly active users” and “50 million daily active users” that doesn’t mean those people are necessarily using Google+, just that they are signed up for Google+ and using some form of Google.
Marketers and brands are going to have to alter the way they perceive their audiences in order to continue to prosper – this is due largely to the growth and mainstreaming of Latinos and African Americans.Explore different, untraditional avenues to recruit multicultural talent – get creative
To better understand the 50 million Hispanics living in the U.S., Villa created four prototypes, or “personas,” based on ethnographic research. Villa said these personas may be recreated or repurposed to different ends, but are help to think about the “Hispanic market” in a more useful and tangible way.Acculturation: how integrated they are into American society-do they identify more with U.S. or their home countryEthnographic interviews: informal, conversational, create comfort, “walk me through this…”
How to we reach them?Use personas to guide owned media – plan the experience!Identify the primary persona – who is your target market mostly made up of?Taxonomy – how we label things, the language we use; find out what language they use and label your website that wayContent strategy – tone, how it’s organized, how long is it?
Make friends with legal – keep them involvedRe-imagine your content – example: turn a whitepaper into a 500-word blog postClassify your content into red, yellow and green depending on how sensitive or questionable it is – have “green” content and have it ready to useYou see a lot of company’s with the “come be our friend” mindset, expecting it to just happen – go to the conversations, add value and bring people inHone in on a narrow target, the more narrow, the better – find where there is the most conversation and chatter, the segments or categories where your target audience isSocial media in a regulated industry has to start at the top and they have to be involved; people feel more comfortable with engaging when the tone is set from the top
