Hispanic advertising shop WING, owned by WPP Group’s Grey Worldwide, is set to start working this year on creative duties for recently acquired client RadioShack. RadioShack in April selected Grey as lead advertising agency of record after a lengthy review.

The International Tennis Federation has launched a Spanish-language version of its Olympic Tennis Event website as part of the build-up to the 2012 London Olympic Tennis Event at the All England Club, Wimbledon on 28 July – 5 August. The new Tenis Olympico website, www.itftennis.com/olimpiadas, provides Spanish-speaking fans with current news and information in their own language, and will also feature original content in Spanish in the run-up to and during the Games. The website will be supported by Spanish-language social media initiatives on Twitter (@tenisolimpico) and Facebook (tenisolimpicoitf) that will allow fans to interact with the rest of the Olympic tennis community.Tenis Olimpico is the third ITF website to be aimed at a Spanish-speaking audience following the success of the Davis Cup and Fed Cup websites (CopaDavis.com and FedCup.com/es). While there is already great interest in the Olympics in Spain and Latin America, the demand for information is expected to grow further when the Games are held in South America for the first time in Rio in 2016. - National Credit Union Administration

- Targeted Victory (Romney Campaign) – Pulpo Media
Targeted Victory, the company handling online ad buys for the likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, has partnered with Pulpo Media, a four-year-old Hispanic online ad targeting outfit. Pulpo has agreed to work with Targeted Victory – which also handled online ads for possible VP nominee Marco Rubio's Senate campaign – exclusively, meaning no other political ad firm can work with Pulpo this election cycle. The Republican digital consulting company itself has spent the last four years building up its own data, teasing out online voter segments for targeted online ad campaigns. "Targeted Victory has unique insights through their data strategy to understand voter information or potential areas to influence them for an election," said Justin Kuykendall, CEO and founder of Pulpo. "If we combine that data with [ours on online Hispanics] we can really hyper segment…in key states."
