The bilingual app is available for iPhone, iPod touch and and Android smartphones.  Created by Latinum Network, an organization dedicated to helping brands succeed in the multicultural economy, the app gives brands the opportunity to offer free products, promotions, recipes, and giveaways to customers and prospects.

Participating brands at launch include: NBA, Comida Kraft, Daisy Brand, Discovery en Espanol, General Mills Que Rica Vida, H&R Block, Knorr®, Clorox® Fraganzia®, Nestle, American Family Insurance and McCormick, among others.

"It is well known that U.S. Hispanics over-index in their use of mobile technology and Veo gives brands access to consumers this way," said David Wellisch, Co-Founder, Managing Partner, Latinum Network. "At Latinum, we can combine the value of all of our member brands to create a valuable app that provides equal benefit to brands and their customers."

Based upon the Pew Research Center's Internet Project "Cell Internet Use 2013," three out of every five Hispanics access the internet through their mobile phone, considerably overindexing the general United States Population's mobile internet use, which is at 34%. (eMarketer)
