Cynthia Hudson, SVP and general director of CNN en Español and Hispanic Strategy for CNN / USA, commented that since she took her post she wanted to create a structure that could be managed in parallel, “look for audiences where our audiences are. Our audiences interact with our brand on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, on YouTube.”
She said that it has been a project that took several years to increase the presence of the brand on each of the platforms, including the talents that have the highest audiences on those platforms. “Not everyone is suited for Instagram, or for Facebook. We have been very careful in selecting who has the most impact in each outlet. It has been well debated and planned,” she emphasized.
