This means that staying connected to their entertainment is an essential part of their daily life. They crave and appreciate the freedom and flexibility to access their content when and where they want (especially on their mobile devices).


IDEA

Showcasing how having access to unlimited data and unlimited entertainment from AT&T and DIRECTV gives you an edge wherever you go.

Lápiz: México Tourism Board – “Melting Neon”

Mexico has done it again. After last year´s Snow Graffiti campaign where they invited people to escape from Chicago´s freezing winter, they evolved their experimentation creating the first ever Melting Neon sign. A 5 meter high billboard built during ITB, the World´s Leading Travel Show at Berlin during the last days of winter.

The trade show with more than 175 International visitors was a nice opportunity to promote traveling to Mexico through a cool installation placed in the main entrance of Messe Berlin. This impressive neon light was frozen during night time to invite everyone to enjoy Mexico´s longer sun hours thawing out on their warm weather.

Bravo Miami: We Save Lives Launches Anti-Drunk Driving Initiative 'Reflections From Inside'

We Save Lives, a non-profit created by MADD founder Candace Lightner, has launched “Reflections from Inside,” an online film against drunk driving.

The campaign, created by BRAVO Miami and produced by Paraná Films, Vaporpost and Mokoh Music, features a long-form online film showing the reactions from patrons at a bar bathroom who are faced with the reflections of Kris Caudilla, a convicted drunk driver currently serving 15 years for vehicular manslaughter in a Florida prison. The film took a year and a half to bring to life and included numerous prison visits and coordination with many State and Federal government entities.

“We hope this message hits home in a relevant way and gives people the courage to intervene when they know someone is about to drive drunk,” said Candace Lightner, founder of We Save Lives. She added, “we often hear from the victims of impaired driving but to our knowledge this is the first time a convicted felon who is now in prison has come forward to do a PSA about the tragic consequences of drinking and driving. We believe Kris’s message will save lives.”  

Even after decades of awareness and messages highlighting the importance of intervention and responsibility, drunk driving still kills 30 people in America every day. Federico Hauri, BRAVO Miami VP Creative Director stated, “this is a real guy with a real, powerful story of regret that we believe can break through and change people’s behavior in the key moment before getting behind the wheel.” 

 

Lala Wants People to Start 'Yogurting'

Borden Dairy Brand Uses Action and Music in First National Brand Push for Drinkable Yogurt

Lala yogurt has come up with a new word, "yogurting," to promote its smoothies as the brand's U.S. ad budget and distribution are poised to take off.

The brand, better known in Latin America, has been gaining traction in the U.S. as one of the flagship brands for Borden Dairy. After years as a regional player, Lala is pushing forward with its first national campaign on Feb. 15, focused on the brand's yogurt smoothies.

The product, sold in traditional and Greek styles, hits on a mix of trends in the market right now as people want protein-filled and better-for-you products they can consume during busy days, said Desiree Johnson, director of marketing for Lala USA at Borden Dairy.

In a departure from some yogurt advertising, or perhaps because of it, Lala is not emphasizing the nutritional details of the drinks. "Everybody kind of knows that yogurt is great for you," Ms. Johnson said. "What I believe the yogurting campaign does is make it relevant to a younger audience."

As for what yogurting means, "it's really being able to just grab a yogurt and go. You don't even need a spoon," Ms. Johnson said.

An earlier campaign concept from Dieste that touted "no spoon required" did not resonate as well as the new campaign in focus groups, she added. The new campaign from Dieste shows people with the drinks as they do everything from commuting to surfing.

'Bacon Subtitles' by Lápiz to promote Chicago Latino Film Festival

Chicago-based creative agency Lápiz is serving up a new advertising campaign to promote the 31st Annual Chicago Latino Film Festival - movies with “Bacon Subtitles.”
 
Thanks to the new campaign, reading English subtitles during the Festival’s Spanish-language movies just got easier to swallow. In an effort to increase attendance and make the foreign-film experience more enjoyable, Lápiz created a new subtitle font that resembles bacon.
 
"The festival is having a bit of fun by creating a special font that will finally make bacon-loving Americans watch Latin American movies with subtitles,” said Laurence Klinger, Chief Creative Officer at Lápiz.
 
The agency spent a month developing the bacon typography, a readable alternative to mundane subtitles. A mockumentary video “Bacon Subtitles” explains the process.
 
In the spot, a typographer creates letters out of bacon. It doesn’t take long before he succumbs to the temptation of eating his letters and even implores the help of a vegan, all the while satirizing American eating habits.  
 
The first movie with the bacon subtitles, Mexican director Barbara Balsategui’s “Pork Chops/Carnitas,” aired on April 11 and 12 at the AMC River East. Ironically, the movie tells the story of a girl and her pet piglet.

Snow Graffiti - Lápiz

Los primeros días de la primavera en Chicago fueron especialmente fríos, alargando uno de los inviernos más duros de todos los tiempos.

La agencia Multicultural Lápiz liderada por los brasileños Laurence Klinger y Fabio Seidl en el departamento creativo, y con el apoyo del artista español NosE lanariz, sacaron una sonrisa a los habitantes de la Windy City, con inteligentes mensajes utilizando la misma nieve de la que todo el mundo se quejaba para promocionar México y su cálido clima.

Como dijo el famoso Marshall McLuhan, el medio es el mensaje.

Roberto Spam – Comercial FIAP 2015

Lo demostró el tiempo y vemos ejemplos todos los días, las grandes ideas no sólo venden, también transforman, vinculan, inspiran y hacen crecer a una marca en más de un aspecto. Quizás sea su razón de ser más importante, pero pretender que el único objetivo de la publicidad sea vender, es confinar a nuestra profesión a un espacio demasiado reducido, un lugar donde miles de profesionales, artistas, técnicos y talentos de todas las áreas de la comunicación y el marketing no tendrían lugar. Así nació Roberto Spam, un personaje querible, pero que representa el anti-ejemplo de la mejor publicidad; molesto, descarado y con el único objetivo de vender. Todos sabemos de qué hablamos cuando hablamos de SPAM, una presencia que no sólo se limita al inbox de nuestras casillas, también aparece en la calle, en la tanda, en las redes y en cuanta oportunidad se presente de sacar un provecho netamente económico. Roberto Spam encarna este impulso de ventas, sin vocación creativa, ni complejos a la hora de vender. Este es el llamado del FIAP para el 2015, simple y al mismo tiempo crítico. Con producción íntegramente en México y a cargo de la productora vdm, dirección de Andres el Guero Cruz, música y sonido de La Pirada Miami, creatividad de DKP Miami y equipos de Energía Rentas & EFD, se presenta el concepto para este año: Si crees que la publicidad es solo vender, todavía no sabes lo que significa una buena idea. Es por esto que la edición 2015 de FIAP será en un país grande en todo sentido, con lugar suficiente para recibir a las mejores ideas y profesionales de toda la región, reunidos una vez más para premiar lo que merece ser premiado; las mejores ideas y este año, en México.

“Quiero agradecer a la agencia de publicidad, con Damián Coscia al frente del equipo creativo, y al equipo de producción, por un trabajo impecable y un concepto que resalta la importancia de la creatividad en la comunicación. Ojalá todos los spams que nos bombardean a diario fueran tan simpáticos como Roberto, el protagonista de este comercial, y tan bien producidos. Ojalá todos los anunciantes confiaran en la capacidad de las agencias y el poder de la creatividad para posicionar y potenciar sus marcas. Esa creatividad que, una vez más, será valorada y premiada en el festival más tradicional de la región. En su edición número 46, por primera vez en México”, sostuvo Daniel Marcet, Director General del FIAP.

There's No Direct Translation for Target's Latest Effort Aimed at Hispanics

The Effort Depicts Terms and Moments Unique to Spanish Cultures

Target aims to deepen its relationship with Hispanic consumers through a new ad campaign launching on March 8. Called "Sin Traducción," or "without translation," the push highlights Spanish terms and moments that have no direct English translation and are unique to Hispanic consumers.

For example, the first of two launch spots is named "Arrullo," which means "lullaby," and is often used to describe the right ambience and setting to put a baby to sleep. The second, called "Sobremesa," is about the period of time right after dinner in which family and friends linger at the dinner table to catch up or spend quality time together. "There will always be a part of you that simply doesn't translate," the ads point out.

"The Hispanic guest loves Target but we're always looking to connect on a deeper level," said Rick Gomez, senior VP, brand and category marketing at Target. "'Sin Traducción' does exactly that. It's a way for Target to make a connection with our Hispanic guest on a deeper, more emotional level."

The strategy has personal significance for Mr. Gomez, who is Hispanic and whose first language was English. He can recall asking his parents to define words like "comadre" and "compadre," which have no direct translation.

The effort, created by LatinWorks, includes a mix of broadcast spots, digital advertising and experiential efforts.

López Negrete Creates Multicultural Ads for Chrysler Featuring Gael García Bernal

In order to create a successful campaign about the Chrysler C200, the most provocative mid-size sedan that’s an appealing entry-level Chrysler car for the young Hispanic driver, Lopez Negrete Communications created a series of four commercials that aim to inspire Hispanic Millenials to upgrade their expectations, figuratively posing the question, “why settle for the ordinary when you can reach the extraordinary?” The commercials feature a cameo by famous Mexican actor Gael García Bernal (of Babel, Motorcycle Diaries, Amores Perros fame) interacting with a young boy, Paco, who claims to be Gael in the past. When Gael explains to ‘Paquito’ that he has him confused with his ‘every-day joe’ neighbor Paco, Paquito decides he wants his future self to be more like Gael. The dialogue resonates with characteristically age and life-stage-less ‘Hispennials,’ who want to ‘grow young’ as they enter their 30’s.

Chief Creative Officer Fernando Osuna offers the reminder that, in trying to reach this audience, “it’s not about making commercials that sells features. Hispanic Millennials care about features, but what they really care about is what those features can do for them, what they mean to them. It's all about developing a story. In this case, the Chrysler 200 and its features were integrated in an organic way into a story about re-inventing yourself.”

Just as Paquito strives to re-invent himself, the Chrysler 200 reinvents itself to be something out of the ordinary that goes beyond expectations. Gael Garcia Bernal was a natural fit for this series of commercials, as his career, personality, attitude and coolness made for a gripping idol for Paquito. Garcia Bernal wasn’t chosen just for the sake of using a celebrity. He fit with the brand and the core message being conveyed. Conversely, Garcia Bernal loved the creative, too – a deciding factor in his decision to participate in the project.

On working with Garcia Bernal, Osuna says, “Gael is a true professional and a talented actor. He really immersed himself in the project, tweaking the story and contributing solutions when we ran into challenges. We asked him to be Gael and he truly gave his best performance of himself. It's a huge pleasure to work with such a dynamic actor that is constantly striving for the best.”

Orcí agency goes galactic in their latest spot “space for dreams” featuring a determined young latina

Inspirational campaign aims to create conversation and create change

Orcí, a creative advertising and marketing agency connecting brands to the hearts and lives of the Latino consumer, announces the launch of its space themed, dream encouraging, digital, social and experiential campaign for the 2015 Honda CR-V. In the new CR-V ad supporting Motor Trend’s 2015 SUV of the Year, Orcí taps into important consumer insights about parents and quality time with kids. Serving up a serious, but inspirational spot featuring an ambitious little girl, Orcí aims to empower parents to prioritize their children’s dreams by maximizing time spent together in car rides.

“Our work is to inspire our audience. Latino consumers are at the center of our universe. Our mission with this campaign is not just to showcase the space available inside the new Honda CR-V, but to launch an awareness amongst parents and children that they can make space, in an everyday car ride, for their dreams to become a reality- whatever their dreams may be,” explains Andrew Orcí, the agency’s chief executive officer.

Research has shown that young Latinos are optimistic about their future and place a high value on education, hard work and success. On the other hand, they are much more likely than other American youth groups to drop out of school. Orcí wanted to create a commercial that speaks to Hispanic parents and children about the importance of making space and time to achieve goals and dreams.

“Latinos are the largest and youngest minority group in the U.S. now. We recognize that the types of grown-ups these young Latinos become will help influence the kind of society America becomes in the 21st century. Honda values the Orcí Agency’s ability to uncover key insights and turn them into compelling creative campaigns that inspire our customers,” commented Gina Jorge, Head of Multicultural Marketing at Honda.

“Our agency has a profound qualitative understanding of our client’s target consumer. In this case, our team developed the CR-V campaign around the understanding that busy parents need practical solutions to finding quality time to spend with their children,” said Andrew Orcí.

Through social media the agency will extend the aspect of the campaign where the CR-V is not only a place where you can have the physical space and mental peace of mind to dream but also a tool that takes you to the places that will help you achieve your dreams. The agency positions the CR-V literally as the vehicle to help accomplish your dreams.
