April 26, 2022/by Staff WriterAre We Crazy to Run a Hispanic Agency?
Nine years ago, my partner and I opened the doors of d2H Partners with two burning questions. The first was a bit visceral – “Are we crazy to open a Hispanic advertising agency?” The second more existential –
March 24, 2022/by Staff WriterThe Hispanic Positivity Vacuum
The largest anti-Latino racial massacre in recent history took place on August 3, 2019, when a 21-year-old believer in the white supremacist conspiracy theory the “Great Replacement” walked into a Walmart in the Texas border city of El Paso with an assault-style rifle and began shooting, intending to target Latino, specifically Mexican, people, according to a federal affidavit. Twenty-three people died, most of them Latino.

I cannot help but feel the million cuts of micro-aggressions whenever I ask myself this question. If my dollar is worth as much as your dollar, then why do you spend so much less reaching out for my business? I write today as much a Hispanic consumer as I am a marketer to my community.
December 26, 2021/by Staff WriterHISPANIC, LATINA But Not LATINX
The term LatinX that purports to describe Latinos in a gender-inclusive, non-binary way, has become commonplace in some quarters – but certainly not among Hispanics.
So, who is using LatinX? Opponents of transphobia and sexism and those who embrace the latest lingo. The term appears in academic research papers; liberal politicians, social scientists and civil rights litigators use it. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci uses it. In fact, in 2018 Merriam-Webster officially added it to the dictionary.

The Hispanic Covid-19 Misinformation Gap
A quick look at our infographic this month and you cannot help but come to one conclusion – Hispanics are vaccinating for COVID-19 at an alarmingly low rate relative to the US population in general. Ironically, there is research out there that Hispanics want to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
September 29, 2021/by Staff WriterHispanics Are High On Cannabis
US Hispanics have historically been linked to cannabis, but until recently that association was marked by racial inequality. In fact, cannabis was referred to as “marijuana” “because anti-cannabis factions wanted to underscore the drug’s ‘Mexican-ness,’ meant to stoke anti-immigrant sentiments,” according to Matt Thompson from NPR’s Code Switch blog. It’s also the reason why some cannabis advocates today consider “marijuana” a derogatory term.
July 22, 2021/by Staff WriterWhat Makes Latino Content… Latino?
Most of the debate related to people of color in the media comes down to two subjects — how are we portrayed and do we see ourselves enough on-screen. The topic of on-screen representation seems to get more politicized with every award show, much like everything else in our increasingly polarized society today.
June 4, 2021/by Staff WriterCovid Will Not Kill Hispanic Economic Success
Almost one year ago, I wrote about Hispanics being essential to the well-being of the U.S. economy. This economic essentiality has cost our community dearly and yet the resiliency shown by Latinos is what makes us an unequivocal economic growth engine in this country.

March 28, 2021/by Staff WriterThe Role of Spanish in Media, Marketing & Entertainment
Spanish is not going away, especially when there are 46MM Spanish-speaking consumers in the US today.
While the topics of acculturation and the growth of the Hispanic market coming from US-born Latinos, have been used to undermine the belief that Hispanics continue to use their native language, the truth is that Spanish language media and advertising continue to thrive in this country.
