The Vidal Partnership continues to handle strategic marketing, promotions and creative responsibilities. Sprint shifted all mainstream and multicultural media buying responsibilities to Mindshare.

• El Pollo Loco
“Que rico pollo” is the new Spanish-language ad campaign launching this spring for Costa Mesa, California-based El Pollo Loco, a quick-service chain known for flame-grilled chicken.
The campaign, which highlights the chain's behind-the-grill cooks, is more than simply a translation of general market spots to Spanish. While there is consistency with the overall brand message, the Spanish-language campaign is its own creative and concept, filmed in Mexico City, and was developed to speak to employees and customers in a language they'd understand. An estimated 99 percent of cooks behind the grill at El Pollo Loco are Hispanic, says Mark Hardison, vice president of marketing for El Pollo Loco, so the spots are designed both to reflect them and to speak to them. El Pollo Loco will spend $4 million on its Hispanic advertising efforts, as compared with $10 million for its general market campaign. But the Hispanic business does not play second fiddle to the English-language campaign, which will be created later this year.
