Today’s Insight

📰 TL;DR - There are few places in this world where multilingual campaigns wouldn’t provide a benefit. The reality is that our populations are getting increasingly diverse, especially in the U.S. So, considering what languages you’re using in your ads can help you maximize opportunity and reach more customers. TikTok’s new research report on this showcases how brands can help boost their promotions across language barriers.

💡 Insight - Here are some of the top stats from TikTok’s report:

  • Hispanics are the youngest and largest ethnic group, expected to become a third of the U.S. population by 2060

  • 66% of Bilingual users appreciate ads that have cultural references to day-to-day life, not just holidays or heritage months

  • 71% want to see more ads with celebrities from their culture, and 63% want to see more ads with influencers or creators from their culture

  • When comparing brand perception, connection, and consideration, Spanish language voiceovers had the greatest impact compared to English-only ads

  • For Spanish-speaking audiences in the U.S., ads that use a mix of English and Spanish resonated most with bilingual speakers as it speaks more to their dual identities
