Tú Cuentas

In the past decade, the U.S. Hispanic population grew by 43%, or four times the nation’s 9.7% growth rate. Between 6/07 and 6/08, more than 3.5 million new Hispanics came online representing 21% growth vs. 6% non-Hispanic growth.  Web 2.0 technologies are revolutionizing how consumers engage with brands. Opportunities to leverage the growth, understanding and influence of Hispanic consumers using these technologies and resources remain mostly untapped.

Both founders envisioned this community after more than 15 years developing Hispanic marketing initiatives for leading companies including AT&T, Bank of America, Brown-Forman, California Department of Health Services, Chase Bank, The Clorox Company, H&R Block, Kellogg’s, Leapfrog Enterprises, Mattel, Procter & Gamble and Washington Mutual
