  • Coke

Coca-Cola's top stateside marketing executive said that targeting "multicultural" Americans will be paramount for the company over the next decade. North America CMO Katy Bayne said Coke no longer cooks up media plans targeting Hispanics around major events, but hopes to reach them all year. "It is no longer the Hispanic Heritage Month followed by Cinco de Mayo," she said. "We have 12 months of deep connection." Next year, those efforts include World Cup-related promotions targeting Hispanic males and telenovelas for females. Powerade is one brand with resonance among the demo that Coke will emphasize.

A focus in 2010 aimed at moms will be around the new Coke "Mini" can, which launches nationwide in the first quarter. Out-of-home and digital will be critical in the "Mini" debut — with a digital effort carrying a "90-calorie portion control can — for the Goldilocks in all of us" tagline.

 

  • Procter & Gamble

“Very much on our radar screen is what will happen between now and 2050 in terms of the demographics of the U.S. population, where minorities move to a majority," P&G’s CFO Jon Moeller, in a similar fashion to Coca Cola’s comments, said at a recent Morgan Stanley Investor Conference. "We need to ensure we have products and messages and connections with Hispanic consumers, with African-American consumers."

Moeller also reiterated the company's commitment to increase marketing outlays in the current fiscal year, saying that "media impressions" will be up 10% — largely because it has a run of new products and extensions to plug. Categories there include laundry, baby and feminine care.
