For example, in the spot Medias (Socks), we see Santa folding laundry with the family’s mother, and Santa taking each sock and putting a gift in it like you would do so for a stocking. The campaign will launch on Kia Latino Facebook and on Instagram, and in addition to the five videos the campaign will include month-long content of Santa’s happenings as he encounters his new life outside the North Pole. The campaign will also be supported via paid media and with the hashtag #SantaEnCasa.
