  • Infiniti

Luxury auto brand Infiniti is launching a new marketing campaign that celebrates the brand's 20th anniversary in the U.S., while offering leasing and financing offers. The Web-centric "Limited Engagement Winter Event," running through Jan. 4, includes home page takeovers, in-market behavioral targeting on third-party automotive sites and, in a first for Infiniti, a sneak preview of TV creative on social media sites.

Local print ads will appear in newspapers in nine markets. Infiniti Limited Engagement Winter Event advertising will also run in Asian Indian local newspapers in New York, and Chinese local newspapers in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and will appear on Hispanic Web sites.

 

  • Patricia Romero – JCPenney

Patricia Romero, former head of multicultural marketing at Hyundai Motor America, will be JCPenney's new director of multicultural marketing starting today.  

At JCPenney, she'll be working with the retailer's U.S. Hispanic agency, Vidal Partnership, and Asian-American shop InterTrend Communications. The company doesn't have an agency of record for the African-American market.

Ms. Romero joined Hyundai two years ago. The carmaker cut its multicultural spending after mid-2008 and has spent very little on the Hispanic market in the last 18 months, so Ms. Romero's job increasingly entailed working on general market and digital efforts at Hyundai.

Before joining Hyundai, Ms. Romero was VP-director of client services at Bumpercar, a Hispanic shop in Los Angeles. Before that, she held marketing posts at DaimlerChrysler and Toshiba, and she led American Honda Motor Co.'s expansion in Latin America.

 

  • Coors Light – Daddy Yankee

Coors Light and Daddy Yankee are teaming up to promote the artist's release of a new single, "Grito Mundial," as a prelude to the launch of his new album, "Daddy Yankee Mundial," slated to be on the market in early 2010. Coors Light En Exclusiva (In Exclusive) is a series of VIP events taking place in six cities across the country where legal-drinking-age fans will have the opportunity to meet and greet the Latin superstar.

The six-city tour is being supported this year via retail, text messaging and radio promotions that provide opportunities for fans to receive a VIP ticket to meet Daddy Yankee.

 

  • Maxon Computer
