Hispanic radio broadcasters launch mobile marketing.

HipCricket launched a Hispanic mobile marketing network. The network is composed of a family of Hispanic media properties that can be leveraged by brand marketers to deliver highly targeted and interactive mobile marketing programs directly to the handsets of opted-in, engaged mobile users who are part of the $860 billion Hispanic consumer market.

HipCricket announced that Bustos Media, Lotus Communications and Davidson Media Group are among the first to join the network.

Brand marketers will be able to tap into and customize a media plan of Hispanic stations in the network and their audiences with a single buy. They will be able to choose the markets, stations and the demographics to develop a sophisticated media buy that pinpoints their target audience.

“The Hispanic market represents an unprecedented opportunity for broadcasters and brands because of its large and growing population, enormous purchasing power and great consumer loyalty,” said Ivan Braiker, chief executive officer of HipCricket. “Hispanics are also among the earliest and fastest adopters of mobile technology, so the ultimate way to meaningfully engage with this community is through mobile marketing. The Hispanic Mobile Marketing Network gives brands and broadcasters a premier solution that facilitates real-time, measureable, one-to-one relationships with Hispanic customers.”

As with all HipCricket programs, the Hispanic Mobile Marketing Network is entirely permission-based so consumers only receive the text messages, alerts and other mobile interactions they request. Additionally, all mobile messages are customized based on the consumer’s preferences and needs, helping broadcasters and brands maximize their reach to Hispanic consumers.

“Joining HipCricket’s Hispanic Mobile Marketing Network was an easy decision because of the company’s proven track record—they have executed more than 17,000 mobile campaigns that have delivered dramatic, measurable improvements in revenue generation, listener engagement, audience growth and advertiser ROI,” said Amador Bustos, president and chief executive officer, Bustos Media, a Spanish-language broadcasting company that owns and operates radio and TV stations in high-growth markets throughout the United States.

“Mobile marketing solutions from HipCricket will help us to connect with our audience in ways we never thought possible,” said Peter Davidson, president/founder of Davidson Media Group. “The company offers a flexible, easy to use platform for delivering customized messages to Hispanic audiences. This capability will allow us to successfully increase our loyal following while maximizing the promotion of our shows, talent and events. By becoming an inaugural member of their Hispanic Mobile Marketing Network, we expect to see even more added value for us and our advertisers.”
