  • T-Mobile

The mobile phone maker begun a TV push yesterday (Sunday), continuing with a major presence in ESPN’s coverage of the Home Run Derby today (Monday) y and in the MLB All-Star game on Fox on Tuesday (tomorrow). The campaign will run through the summer and include four 15-second and 11 30-second ads that star former Saturday Night Live comic Bill Hader, who helped write the spots created by agency Publicis & Riney. T-Mobile hopes to improve on its No. 4 ranking in mobile sales market share. T-Mobile’s commercials take a poke at Verizon and AT&T, which both recently lengthened the amount of time users must wait for an upgrade.

  • Target

TargetWith the critical back-to-school and back-to-college season looming, Target is expanding its offerings for students as well as doubling down on digital experiences and campus events. The retailer said it plans to invest heavily in broadcast TV — it has six ads — followed by print and radio. There will also be a program with Instagram. Ads focus on celebrating kids’ sense of style, a departure from the campaign that has run for the last two years featuring teachers and opening with a salutation to parents. The ads, created by 72andSunny, will air in select markets beginning July 14 and roll out nationwide on July 28.

  • Dodge

The Dodge brand is targeting multicultural millennials with a Spanish/English ad campaign for the 2013 Dodge Dart featuring global music sensation Pitbull. The rapper, who utters his signature “!Dale!” (“Let’s do this!”) phrase in the spots, also composed original instrumental music called “Drop 2 the Bottom” for the commercials: “How to Change Cars Forever” and “How to Break Through and Succeed.”  The campaign reflects the Dodge brand’s focus on targeting multicultural millennials for the compact car segment. The Dodge Dart multicultural ads will air on various national Spanish-language and bilingual networks.  They will also air on the Aspire and BET networks this month.  Digital ads will accompany the TV spots.

  • Kroger

Kroger, the nation’s largest grocery store chain is getting even bigger, Kroger said last Tuesday that it is buying Harris Teeter Supermarkets in a $2.4 billion deal, which will increase by three the number of states in which it operates to 34. N.C.-based Harris Teeter has 212 stores in what Kroger called attractive, high-growth markets in the eight Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states and Washington, D.C., and about $4.5 billion in revenue for fiscal 2012. Kroger CEO, Dave Dillon said that he doesn’t rule out the possibility that jobs could be eliminated or transferred to Kroger’s Cincinnati headquarters. Some functions, such as technology and advertising planning, could benefit from centralization, he said. Earlier this month, Kroger announced that it will stop the long-standing practice of doubling the discount on manufacturer coupons and turn to price slashing instead. Double couponing has been common at Kroger stores since the 1980s. Clip a coupon, take it to the store and Kroger would double the value.
