Roundtable Discussion
 (11:10-11:30am ET)

I. Understanding the Underserved Hispanic Market for Financial Services (11:30am-12:10pm ET)
With more than 63 million Hispanics in the U.S, it is more critical now than ever to know more about their preferences and behavior as consumers. Claritas will share the latest insights from our primary research in the financial services field. Find out what distinguishes the unique Hispanic market from other consumer groups and see what role acculturation plays in differentiating consumer behavior among Hispanics. Brands can use these insights to identify their best customers and prospects, deliver more engaging messages to optimize campaigns and increase ROI.

Coopera Consulting, a full-service Hispanic growth firm providing custom solutions for credit unions nationwide leveraged Claritas’ multicultural data and insights to help a regional client identify and engage the right multicultural consumers in their geographic footprint. Following the launch of a multichannel campaign, Coopera Consulting’s client saw a record-setting lift in both the volume of loans they issues as well as the dollar amounts tied to those loans.

Throughout this presentation, Claritas and Coopera will share details on the overall success of this campaign and the approach the two organizations partnered to implement.

Speakers:
Ron Cohen, VP, Product Strategy - Claritas
VĂ­ctor Corro,
 CEO - Coopera Consulting

II. Toyota's Journey Toward Cultural Authenticity (12:10-12:50pm ET)
In today’s marketing environment, brands have never been under so much pressure to be authentic - to themselves, their product, and most importantly, their consumers. Social media has created an instant feedback loop for marketers where you’ll know how well you did in a very short period of time. Where authenticity is even more critical is when brands attempt to leverage longtime cultural pillars or trends in their marketing. Join us as Toyota shares how they took on this challenge, what they did, and ultimately how they performed.

Speaker:
Lindsay Lee, Senior Manager, Vehicle Marketing and Communications - Toyota Motor North America
