Introducing Jessie Fernández

Today, I’m thrilled to chat with Jessie Fernández of Jessie Fernández Marketing Solutions. Jessie is a master marketing strategist with extensive experience working with brands across the United States, Europe, and Latin America.

From media and print to television, Jessie’s journey spans almost 20 years. She’s currently the marketing project manager at Social Revolt Agency and also works as a marketing coach. Ready for some valuable insights? Let’s dive in!

Jessie’s Journey in Marketing

Jessie’s journey into marketing has been nothing short of inspiring. From working in local television to transitioning into print media with Forbes and eventually working remotely for U.S.-based agencies, her experiences highlight the dynamic nature of the marketing industry. Along the way, she’s not only adapted to changing trends but also grown as a marketing professional.

Jessie emphasizes the importance of being flexible and always learning. Her career, spanning across different media platforms and cultural contexts, has provided her with unique insights into what it takes to succeed in marketing—especially when catering to specific demographics like U.S. Hispanics.

Key Differences in Marketing to U.S. Hispanics

One of the most intriguing aspects of bicultural marketing is the need to understand the unique characteristics of the U.S. Hispanic audience. Jessie explains that there are key differences between marketing to U.S. Hispanics and the general American population:

  • Language: Many U.S. Hispanics are bilingual, with Spanish often being the dominant language. But it’s not just about translating content; it’s about understanding how language reflects culture.
  • Cultural Values: Hispanic culture emphasizes family, community, and traditions. These values are crucial in shaping buying behaviors and loyalty to brands.
  • Brand Loyalty: U.S. Hispanics tend to form deep connections with brands that reflect their cultural values, making it essential for marketers to focus on authenticity and relationship-building.

Jessie also points out that U.S. Hispanics are not a monolithic group. With diverse communities, including Mexicans, Cubans, Venezuelans, and others, each has its own set of cultural nuances that require tailored marketing strategies.

Common Mistakes in Reaching U.S. Hispanics

When it comes to marketing to this demographic, brands can sometimes miss the mark. Jessie shares some of the most common mistakes she sees:

  • Assuming All U.S. Hispanics Are the Same: The diversity within the Hispanic community is often overlooked. A one-size-fits-all approach simply won’t work.
  • Relying on Literal Translations: Too many brands rely on tools like Google Translate without considering the cultural context. What works in English may not resonate in Spanish—or worse, it might come off as confusing or even offensive.

To avoid these mistakes, Jessie advises brands to invest in cultural research and to work with bilingual and bicultural marketers who understand both languages and cultures deeply.

Emerging Trends in Bicultural Marketing

So, what’s trending in bicultural marketing? Jessie highlights several emerging trends that brands should be aware of:

  • Influencer Marketing: U.S. Hispanics are highly engaged with influencers who reflect their culture. Representation matters, and influencer marketing can create a strong connection with Hispanic audiences.
  • Cause-Related Marketing: Hispanics tend to be community-oriented and are drawn to brands that support causes they care about. Aligning your brand with community values can build lasting relationships.
  • Personalized Messaging: Data-driven personalization is increasingly important. Brands that can tailor their messages to individual preferences while respecting cultural nuances will stand out.

Building Long-Term Relationships with U.S. Hispanics

Building a relationship with the U.S. Hispanic community goes beyond just marketing campaigns. Jessie suggests the following strategies for creating lasting connections:

  • Get Involved in the Community: Sponsor local events, partner with Hispanic-owned businesses, and be present in the community you’re targeting.
  • Representation Matters: Featuring Hispanic individuals in your content and leadership strengthens trust. Hispanic consumers are more likely to engage with brands that represent them.
  • Loyalty Programs: Offering programs that reward long-term customers is a great way to foster brand loyalty among U.S. Hispanics.

Jessie’s Tips for Business Growth

To wrap up, Jessie shares three things that have truly helped her grow her business:

  1. Networking: Always be open to meeting new people, whether it’s on LinkedIn or at local events. Connections are key to growth.
  2. Overcoming Fears: Stepping out of your comfort zone is vital. Surround yourself with a support system—whether it’s friends, coworkers, or even a therapist—to push through any self-doubt.
  3. Building a Personal Brand: Consistency is key. Put yourself out there, even if it’s just once a week. Over time, your confidence and personal brand will grow stronger.

Must-Have Elements for a Pinterest Pin: From Images to Call-to-Actions

Must-Have Elements for a Pinterest Pin_ From Images to Call-to-Actions by Jen Vazquez Media

Must-Have Elements for a Pinterest Pin: From Images to Call-to-Actions

Hey there, Pinterest enthusiasts! Ready to level up your Pinterest game? Pinterest isn’t just another social media platform—it’s a search marketing powerhouse, just like Google and YouTube. Your pins act both as your content and a visibility boost for your business. If you want your pins to stand out, drive traffic, and ultimately convert viewers into customers, nailing the design and content is essential. So, let’s dive into the must-have elements for a successful Pinterest pin!

1. High-Quality Images

The First Impression Matters

Bright, clear, and compelling.  Your pin’s image is the first thing that users see, so it needs to be So it needs to make an instant impact. Use your high-resolution images that are bright and clear to draw attention.

Pro Tip:You can get photos in many ways:

  • You can capture photos with your cell phone because it can make some beautiful images
  • Secure a custom gallery from a professional photographer
  • Use astock photo plan
  • last on this list is free stock photos. (Everyone uses free stock photos and  unfortunately, those tend to not do as well on Pinterest, probably because everyone has seen that picture somewhere else and it’s not unique on Pinterest).

Pinterest favors vertical images with a 2:3 aspect ratio, about 1000 by 1500 pixels. Tools like Canva can help you nail this size effortlessly. Why this size? Because it takes up more space in the feed or search results, making it more noticeable!

Relevance is Key

Ensure your image directly relates to the content you’re promoting. If you’re sharing a recipe, show a mouth-watering close-up of the finished dish. If you’re a wedding photographer, feature that beautiful wedding moment.

For blog posts, use images that reflect the blog’s theme. I love using visuals of laptops or cell phones displaying Pinterest, as it resonates well with users and the platform’s algorithms.

The Power of Negative Space

Don’t overcrowd your image. Negative space—the empty areas around the focal point—can be as impactful as the elements in your image. It makes text overlays stand out and enhances the overall design.

Want a Shortcut? 

If you’re looking to elevate your Pinterest game and create eye-catching pins that stop the scroll, look no further than The Creative’s Desk Pin Templates. These templates are designed to save you time while maintaining a professional, cohesive look for your brand. Perfect for female service providers, coaches, photographers, or anyone using Pinterest to drive traffic, these templates provide a quick solution to designing pins that convert. Head over to The Creative’s Desk to explore their collection and start boosting your Pinterest strategy today!

 

2. Compelling Text Overlay

Readable and Eye-Catching

Text overlay is crucial for communicating what your Pin is about at a glance. Use bold, easy-to-read fonts for your main keywords and titles. Pinterest users tend to skim, so your text needs to grab their attention immediately. Cursive fonts can be beautiful but should be used sparingly and only for non-essential words that aren’t SEO keywords.

Keyword-Rich

Incorporate relevant SEO keywords in your text overlay. These keywords help your Pin show up in search results. Think about the terms your ideal client would search for and use them in your text.

Use AI

Use ChatGPT or Google Gemini (both have free options) and ask this:  “Please create 5 SEO-optimized Pinterest pin titles and descriptions (400-500 characters with no hashtags and plain language using keywords people would search for on Pinterest) and deliver in a table format without quotes.”

Contrast Matters

Ensure there’s a strong contrast between your text and the background image. This makes your text stand out and easier to read. If needed, use a solid color background or a semi-transparent overlay behind your text to increase visibility.

3. Strong Call to Action (CTA)

Always Include a CTA

Every Pin should have a clear and compelling call to action. Whether it’s “Learn More,” “Shop Now,” “Download,” or “Get the Recipe,” your CTA should guide users on what to do next. This increases engagement and directs traffic to your desired destination.

Placement and Visibility

Place your CTA in a prominent position where it’s easily visible without overwhelming the design. The bottom or top center of your Pin is often a good spot.

Incentivize Action

Give users a reason to click. Whether it’s accessing a special offer, downloading a free resource, or discovering an exclusive tip, make sure your CTA communicates the benefit of taking action.

FREE Download

Download my free 80 CTA tool. to help you to not have to be creative.  You merely need to find one for your pin from the 80 shared. 

4. Branded Elements

Include Your Website URL

Your website URL should be visible but not intrusive. Placing it at the bottom or in a corner of the Pin reinforces brand recognition and helps protect your content from being shared without credit.

Consistent Branding

Consistency is key to building brand recognition. Use the same colors, fonts, and design elements across all your Pins. This cohesive style makes your Pins instantly recognizable in users’ feeds, even before they notice your URL.

Watermark or Logo

Consider adding a small logo or watermark to further protect your content. This should be subtle so it doesn’t distract from the main message but still serves to reinforce your brand identity.

Pinterest Membership

Pinterest Strategy Club

A community membership that helps you to learn Pinterest live.  There’s a mini course to optimize your Pinterest to have it help you grow your business.  There are two live calls a month, a Pinning Session for accountability and a Q+A session. Also, Pin templates each month to download.

5. Engaging Pin Title

Keyword Optimized

Your Pin title should include relevant keywords that potential clients are likely searching for. The title should clearly communicate the value or benefit users will gain by clicking. For example, “5 Easy Steps to Create Pinterest-Worthy Images” is more compelling than just “Pinterest Image Tips.”

Action-Oriented

Use action verbs to make your title more engaging. Words like “Discover,” “Learn,” “Try,” or “Boost” encourage users to take action.

Pinterest truncates long titles, so keep it concise—aim for around 40-60 characters. Ensure the most important information comes first.

6. Detailed Pin Description

SEO-Friendly

Pinterest uses your Pin description, title, text overlay, and image name to understand the content of your Pin and surface it in relevant searches. Use this space to naturally incorporate keywords that your target audience is searching for. Avoid keyword stuffing, as it can make your description sound spammy.

Clear Call-to-Action

End your description with a strong CTA to guide users on what to do next. Phrases like “Click to learn more,” “Save this for later,” or “Get the full tutorial now” encourage engagement and drive traffic.

Provide Value

Your description should clearly convey what the user will gain by clicking on your Pin. Whether it’s a step-by-step guide, a valuable tip, or an exclusive offer, make sure the value proposition is front and center.

7. Clickable Link

Direct to Valuable Content

The link you attach to your Pin should lead directly to the content you’re promoting, whether it’s a blog post, product page, or lead magnet. Avoid linking to your homepage unless it’s directly relevant to the Pin.

Use Trackable URLs

To measure the effectiveness of your Pins, use UTM codes or other tracking parameters. This allows you to monitor how much traffic and conversions each Pin generates, helping you refine your strategy over time.

Avoid Dead Links

Regularly check your Pins to ensure that all links are still active and lead to the correct destination. Broken or outdated links can frustrate users and harm your credibility.

By incorporating these elements into every Pin, you’ll create a powerful, cohesive Pinterest strategy that not only attracts attention but also drives meaningful engagement and traffic to your website.

One of the most effective ways to do this is through video content, specifically by utilizing B-Roll footage. Let’s dive into how you can capture, organize, and utilize B-Roll to enhance your marketing strategy.

B-Roll refers to the supplementary footage that enhances the primary video content. It’s those candid, behind-the-scenes shots that add depth and context to your story.

Utilizing B-Roll in Your Marketing

Once you have your B-Roll footage, use it to add variety and interest to your videos. Incorporate these clips into your social media posts, website, and marketing materials. B-Roll can serve as engaging transitions, background visuals, or highlight reels to keep your audience captivated.
