America’s Hispanic population is growing while the country’s non-Hispanic white population shrinks, creating an imperative for companies to learn to market to Hispanic consumers.

Mizrahi draws from extensive industry experience as a marketing executive and ad agency head, and the book includes ten case studies illustrating successful Hispanic marketing initiatives.

America is home to 17 million Hispanic millennials, 24 million non-Mexican Hispanics, 10 million Hispanic seniors and 12 million Hispanic households with an annual income over $100,ooo. Meanwhile, the white population of the United States is declining: Non-Hispanic white numbers fell by 2.6% from 2010 to 2020.
