A summary for Corporate Marketers, Media Sales Executives and Advertising Agencies to see what clients are moving into the Hispanic market and/or targeting Hispanic consumers right now.

  • Disney

OMD is taking on media responsibilities for Disney’s movie business. Annual media spending on the account is estimated at $800 million. As a result of the move—which came without a pitch—staffers from the incumbent agency, Publicis Groupe’s 4D, will follow the business to OMD. OMD is expected to keep the dedicated unit intact under U.S. CEO Monica Karo.In March 2011, after a three-month review, Disney split its $1 billion in media spending between Publicis Groupe, which landed responsibility for studio, home entertainment and interactive gaming, and Carat, which won duties for theme parks and resorts. The shift comes as Publicis Groupe and Omnicom are working toward the expected first-quarter completion of their merger but the move is not related to that transaction, sources said.

  • NASCAR
