“Our content has really struck a chord with Latino youth because it speaks authentically to their unique experience and POV,” said Roy Burstin, CEO of mitú, in a statement. “We are honored to partner with Snap to bring our voice to the Discover platform. Snap is an incredibly forward-thinking company that understands the importance of connecting with what is the most strategic demo in American youth today.”

mitú has a strong base and expects to draw their 16 million viewers to their Snapchat Discover stories. As the digital divide among Latinos in the U.S. narrows, more young Hispanics have access to smartphones and apps like Snapchat.

Over 60 percent of the U.S. Hispanic population is under 34 years old, and they are the one demographic most likely to own a smartphone or device with access to the internet. mitú and Snapchat hope to reach more of the 56 million Latinos living in the U.S.

“Our partnership with Snap provides an immediate, at scale opportunity for brands to reach and engage with the new mainstream,” said Danny Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer at mitú. “Historically, brands have spent huge budgets on Spanish-language television, yet the majority of the young Latino audience today is English dominant, and digitally native.”

Founded in 2012, mitú has been steadily growing, with major advertisers like Nestle, Proctor & Gamble and Honda. Their videos, stories and other content get over 400 million monthly views on average.
