EVERYTHING LATIN
TikTok's city-wide guide to latin-owned

There are tons of TikTok accounts that serve as the WhereWhenWhat of their city. They review restaurants, activities, stores, salons, events etc.

 

Let’s have these influencers make a guide to latin-owned in their city by reviewing local latin-owned businesses on TikTok.

ARTISTS TO THE STREETS
OOH

Google will partner with different Latin artists from different mediums (like lowrider cars, muralists, etc.) to create eye-catching street art celebrating HHM, while featuring the latino-owned icon. 

 

This could leverage AR or utilize QR codes to drive people to additional information about the effort and how to use or register to the icon.

 

These can also double as grammable spots for passersby to enjoy and take snaps with for social.

OTW TO LATIN-OWNED
Touch Screen Billboards

Let’s utilize digital street billboards to feature latin-owned businesses around walking cities. The hyper-targeted billboards would display a local latin-owned business along with the distance + direction to the business from the billboard. The display would also change to feature multiply businesses. Outside the businesses would be the latin-owned attribute letting users know they’ve arrived. Ex: Feature food trucks at lunch time, coffee shops in the mornings, clothing stores on the weekend, florists for holidays.

They will also have interactive booths within the convention to help people register then and there.
