MiTú Network was created to cater to the growing Latino demand for creatively packaged how-to, help-oriented content for bilingual and bicultural audiences in the U.S. and abroad. With the exploding number of U.S. Latinos watching videos on YouTube, MiTú offers a compelling alternative to traditional Hispanic programming in addition to media opportunities for viewers and advertisers.  Programming features are a mix of English and Spanish language content that will aim to both entertain and be a resource for Latin audiences focusing its content around six key channel categories: Health, Beauty, Food, Family, Home and Pop Cultura.

"I am excited to grow our blogger network reach by partnering with MiTú," stated Ana Lydia Ochoa-Monaco, founder and president of the Latina Lifestyle Bloggers Collective.  "This partnership provides an opportunity for our blogger network members to showcase their diverse interests and contribute to fashion, beauty, and other lifestyle interests to a broader audience," she added.

Launched in April, 2011, the Latina Lifestyle Bloggers collective was founded by padma media and marketing, Inc., as a learning and partnership resource for the growing and influential Hispanic lifestyle blogger community.  The collective's goal is to help Latino lifestyle bloggers who don't identify themselves as "Mami" or "Papi" bloggers, and leverage their influence in the growing Hispanic market by creating lifestyle-specific tweet chats, blogger carnivals, webinars, training conferences, and brand partnerships.  The collective now includes more than 300 curated lifestyle bloggers — who write and vlog about various lifestyle topics ranging from natural hair, to wine, to technology, and fashion — with monthly (combined) page views exceeding 20 million.

"Latino Lifestyle Bloggers influence consumer buying behavior by providing trend-right information to their highly engaged following," stated Ana Lydia Ochoa-Monaco, CEO of padma media & marketing, Inc. "The Latina Lifestyle Blogger Network is the only resource that addresses the specific needs and voices of these savvy and influential bloggers."

Latinas are the fastest growing population segment in the U.S. and currently represent 17% of all females 18-49 In the U.S., the largest growing consumer market to date in both traditional and digital platforms.  That percentage gets close to 50% in markets like Los Angeles and Miami.  The MiTú network will cater primarily to Latina women who control the purse strings to the Hispanic household budget.
