The panel will discuss the various tools Hispanics are using to watch
video, when and where online video is being accessed, the media products
available today that cater to a Hispanic audience, and new products on the
horizon. The panelists will also discuss mobile video and whether personal
viewing devices will have an impact on Hispanic families that watch TV
together.
An award-winning media professional with over 15 years of experience in
bilingual television and radio production, marketing and advertising, Mr.
Santos joined MultiVu Latino earlier this year to help build the division.
Mr. Santos came to MultiVu Latino after having served as director of the
Hispanic Media Division at MediaLink, where he spearheaded all broadcast
operations and helped to create communications programs for a wide variety
of Fortune 500 clients.
"At MultiVu Latino we have seen first hand the rapid growth of online
video within the Hispanic population," noted Santos. "Similar to the
general online population, online video, in all its forms, is becoming an
essential communications and entertainment vehicle among Hispanics of all
economic and demographic groups. Not surprisingly, businesses and
organizations have begun to recognize the unique opportunities that online
video offers in reaching these audiences to build a brand, launch a product
or simply elicit a response. We expect this trend to expand further as more
products and technologies are developed to make producing and viewing such
content even easier."
