  • Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks, @LosDbacks) launched their Hispanic-community focused marketing campaign in 2015 with the goal of embracing the Hispanic community as one. The tagline “Somos Hispanos. Somos D-backs.” translates to “We are Hispanic. We are D-backs.” and will be featured in several print, television and radio spots and will have a strong social media integration that highlights Hispanic players and fans. “This campaign is about embracing the Hispanic community and letting everyone know they have an open invitation to come out to Chase Field to experience our affordable, family-friendly environment,” said D-backs President and CEO Derrick Hall. “More importantly, we hope to continue to make an impact in our Hispanic community and establish a culture of diversity in everything we do. We want to motivate our fans to be an active part of our team and establish a love for the D-backs that will continue to grow.” The first commercial, which features Venezuelan David Peralta, Mexican Oliver Perez and Cuban Yasmany Tomas can be viewed here and will air throughout the marketplace. The D-backs have long been committed to the Hispanic community and since 2008, the D-backs have worn their alternative black jerseys with “Los D-backs” across the front on Hispanic Heritage Day, creating a tradition of honoring their Hispanic players, fans and community.

  • Carl’s Jr.

descarga (2)Carl’s Jr. has launched a new spicy burger called “El Diablo,” the “hottest burger in fast food.”Created by 72andSunny in Los Angeles, the new burger came out of an assignment to appeal to the large and growing Hispanic market in Carl’s Jr.’s core Southwest market, according to Brad Haley, chief marketing officer for CKE Restaurants, parent company of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. But the fast-food chain decided the burger could appeal to consumers at its nearly 3,000 locations nationwide, considering 56 percent of American homes have hot sauce in the fridge, according to NPD research. The Thickburger El Diablo, created by 72andSunny’s art director and designer Gabo Curielcha, has sliced jalapenos, jalapeno poppers, pepper-jack cheese and spicy habanaro-bacon sauce. It’s slated to be in all Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s locations for the next four to five months as a limited-time offer.To introduce the new burger, 72andSunny created two television spots featuring Victoria’s Secret model Sara Sampaio.The campaign also has a social component, with the hashtag #DiabloDare, which challenges the brand’s target audience to try the burger and share their experience on social media for a chance to win prizes.

Developed with two of Dr Pepper’s advertising agencies, Initiative LA and Identity, the “Atrévete A” (“Dare To”) campaign will focus on building brand awareness around messaging for Dr Pepper, “Dare to discover a unique taste,” by having “Suelta La Sopa” hosts, Jorge Bernal and Erika de La Vega, along with celebrity talent, try something “they’ve always wanted to do,” and encourage viewers to participate in a one-of-a-kind photo contest by daring to try something new with Dr Pepper.

  • Taco Bell

QjSaxWZ4_400x400“Routine Republic,” is Taco Bell’s new campaign from Deutsch. In the three-minute centerpiece ad below, McDonald’s affable but creepy mascot is reimagined as a sunken-eyed Stalinist clown (though perhaps bearing closer resemblance to Mao). He rules over a small army of look-alikes and an oppressed proletariat in a decrepit, cloistered city with a beefy security apparatus. Run-of-the-mill breakfast sandwiches are his preferred method of subjugation.Taco Bell, meanwhile—aided by “Blitzkrieg Bop”—is the champion of non-conformists, who simply want hexagonal, instead of circular, breakfast foods. The spot even delivers the added gut punch of twisting McD’s promise of happiness. Below the spot:
