How Mitu Tells Stories to Reach Latino Millennials
Jon Steinberg sits down with Herb Scannell, CEO of Mitu, at the WPP STREAM conference in Ojai, California. Mitu is a Latin-focused, English-first entertainment site. Scannell explains that since many Latinos were actually born in the U.S. they want their online content to be in English but capture their culture at the same time. He wants Mitu to be to Latinos what Def Jam was for the African American community.
He says that Hollywood doesn't tell the stories of Latinos. He cites that in the past 40 years there have maybe been three major shows focused around Latinos, with "I Love Lucy" being the most popular. He's trying to change the narrative and get Latin-focused stories out on the internet.
Mitu creates revenue from branded entertainment, licensing deals, and events. It's mainly focused on the telecom, retail, fast food, and media industries. Its goal is to give Americans an authentic take on the Latino culture.
It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem. Breakfast is booming at U.S. eateries. First Watch, a restaurant chain that serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, nearly quadrupled its locations over the past decade to 570. Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.

The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
