"In the Hispanic community soccer is more than just a favorite sport, it's a passion," said Raquel Navarrete, Marketing Specialist, Emerging Markets.  Makita plans to further leverage the partnership with Fernando Fiore across a number of platforms including on the jobsite, in stores and with promotions built around Fiore's personality and profile. This month Makita launched a new initiative targeting Hispanic contractors with a chance to attend an upcoming Mexican National Soccer Team match with Fernando Fiore. Makita's focus on the Hispanic contractor is best demonstrated in the brand's ongoing "Build Your Dreams" marketing and advertising initiative. The campaign links the best-in-class performance of Makita Power Tools with efficiency on the jobsite, and the potential for contractors to spend more time off the jobsite to focus on dreams and aspirations centered on home and family.
