  • Sprint

descarga-1Sprint released its’ latest television spot on Friday, January 27. The spot features the iconic Spanish group from the 80’s, Locomía, performing a unique version of their famous song “Locomía.”Created by ALMA, the Miami-based Multicultural Ad Agency, the vision was to continue to deepen consumer awareness and affinity through the love and connection to music. This new spot features the former Verizon spokesperson, Paul Marcarelli, who switched to Sprint.The mission was for the spot to communicate Sprint’s unlimited data plan and evoke the pride of belonging to not just any network, but to a network and family that is getting better everyday. So much so, that more and more people are identifying and resonating with more and more people, hence the main lyric and spot title, “Como la mía.”Music has proven to be a catalyst in re-establishing a relatable and emotional connection with the Hispanic audience for the brand and this music infused campaign has been among Sprint’s best performing spots in persuasion and enjoyment against Sprint norms as well as the overall wireless category.
