According to the study, ESPN reaches 20 million Hispanics a week through all of its platforms
In the US there are 37 million Hispanics who are sports fans and the bilingual ones are the greatest followers, according to the ESPN Deportes survey, conducted on bilingual Hispanics P12+.According to the study, ESPN reaches 20 million Hispanics a week through all of its platforms (ESPN and ESPN Deportes). Besides, this group is considered a multiplatform super user: 64% sees ESPN on TV and other platforms, and is the group that spends most time on line per month.Whereas the non-Hispanic population does not spend 86 hours watching content on line, Hispanics spend 90 hours, most of this time through their mobiles (72%). ESPN found that Hispanic who are equally fluent in English and in Spanish are the biggest fans. The term dual acculturation, defined as the union of family influence (exposure to international sports in the US because of the family/extended family) and the influence of peers (exposure to sports in the US), explains the profile of this super fan.Bilingual Hispanics watch soccer in the first place, followed by NFL, NBA and MFL. According to ESPN, multiplatform advertising campaigns (on the three ESPN Deportes platforms) would be the most effective in brand recognition, interest in the brand and subsequent purchase of the product.While those that mix content in English and in Spanish would be the ones that offer more recognition and consideration to brands.
