  • Taco Bell-Dieste

Taco Bell restaurants around the country will donate 15% of their gross sales to help support the Foundation’s mission to stem high school dropout rates. The national problem affects more than one million teens annually: national statistics show that every 26 seconds someone drops out of high school.
To help Taco Bell promote the effort, Dieste has created the first-ever campaign for the Foundation. In one spot, a beautiful, promising, young singer lets the audience in on her prospects as a star. Scheduled to air on major networks including ABC, CBS and NBC, in addition to MTV and Hispanic media, the campaign is aimed at capturing the attention of Taco Bell fans to give back.
In developing the campaign, Dieste considered insights and research that connected with the target audience and move them to participate. The campaign will break with national TV spots, radio, interactive and in-store materials.
Dieste also created a Facebook application –“The World’s Largest Yearbook”– that is challenging social media users to join. The goal is to build a Facebook Yearbook with one million “friends”, representing the current number of teens who drop out of high school each year.

  • Xenon Pictures-Best Buy

Xenon Pictures has launched an extensive marketing campaign for the DVD release of the telenovela Al Diablo Con Los Guapos, distributed by Lionsgate. The four-disc set streets May 5 ($19.98) in Spanish with English subtitles.
Best Buy is running a Mother’s Day promotion May 3-10, with the Al Diablo DVDs as the centerpiece, said Laura Norris, manager in Hispanic initiatives at Best Buy. Various local activities will take place in 120 Best Buy stores as part of the promotion to market items, such as telenovela DVDs and digital imaging products, geared toward moms.
From May 3-8, the retail chain also is running a sweepstakes with Coca Cola for a grand prize trip to meet two telenovela stars in Miami. Customers can enter online through the store’s Web sites at www.bestbuy.com or espanol.bestbuy.com (the Spanish version of the site), or in-store at the kiosks.
This is Best Buy’s latest move to enhance its Latino DVD sections and attract Latino customers. The retail chain last partnered with Xenon Pictures and Lionsgate during the fourth quarter last year on a telenovela promotion for the holidays.
