The ViVA Point of Difference
Laying the Groundwork
We recognize that “one size fits all” is never
the answer. It never was. Through our
different divisions, we’re able to solve most any
Hispanic market challenge; advertising, media,
promotions, marketing and communications. 
A one size fits all approach
doesn't work in the Hispanic
market.

Getting Down To Business
As marketing to Hispanic has changed since
its beginnings in the early 1970’s, so have we.
We operate from the belief that the traditional
media first approach is outdated and that three

ViVA² Hispanic Brand Architects
At ViVA² we evaluate and recommend. Before ads are
created, media is planned and samples distributed, we
peel back the covers of the U.S. Hispanic market with an
eye on the business opportunity for a brand, a category or
a channel. We work with marketing teams to bridge the
gap between thinking about marketing to the U.S. Hispanic
market and taking the first step in doing so . . . or not.

The Hispanic Consumer
Acculturation vs. Assimilation
•
•
•
On average, Hispanics in the U.S. acculturate vs. assimilate into the U.S.
culture.
Rather than being absorbed into the main cultural body (assimilation),
U.S. Hispanics borrow traits from the U.S. culture (acculturation).
The Hispanic immigrant today has a complete Spanish language
infrastructure available to them in the U.S., making acculturation a choice
versus a requirement.

•
•
Language used mostly at home indicates the language adults are
most comfortable with, but also serves as an indication of the
acculturation process for the children in the household.
Children growing up in households that speak Spanish mostly or
both equally are likely to continue to use Spanish in their adult life.

A Traditional Culture

•
Familismo
– The family’s needs take precedent over the individual member’s needs
Niñismo
– Children are not believed capable of acting independently until they reach
maturity…regardless of the physical and emotional development of the child
Machismo
– Refers to the roles men fulfill according to societal rules and how they view
themselves with respect to their environment and other people
Marianismo
– Excessive sense of self-sacrifice among traditional and less acculturated
Hispanic women - the more sacrifice, the better mother, the better spouse
