  • eSalon

Customized color brand eSalon announced the launch of a fully personalized client experience in Spanish. With this new Spanish-language site, eSalon gains the ability to reach an entirely new demographic of potential clients who are typically underserved by English-speaking direct-to-consumer brands in the US market.Localization will open the doors to more customer acquisition and engagement with the Hispanic population. The push includes a new website (eSalonEnEspanol.com, which can also be found through a toggle on the English site, eSalon.com), targeted emails and on-bottle instructions and videos personalized for the U.S. Hispanic market (meaning product copy and tutorials are not direct translations from its English site).

  • Toyota

Toyota RAV4 is finally getting a flagship status for brand that includes a new advertising campaign. The completely redesigned 2019 RAV4, the best-selling SUV in the U.S. that accounts for about 20 percent of Toyota’s overall sales in the U.S. market, is the subject of a fresh and relevant new advertising campaign.Toyota’s new campaign for RAV4 has an adventurous edge.One of the main points of the new RAV4 advertising campaign, titled “What if?,” is to give the nameplate a bit of a daring, almost off-the-grid sort of edge. Toyota also is targeting multicultural audiences with the new RAV4 campaign, given that they account for 38 percent of U.S. sales of the nameplate. Specific ads are aimed at Hispanic car buyers (in Spanish) and Asian-Americans, a group of whom enjoy using RAV4 as the platform for a tech-based fishing expedition. The new campaign followed hot on the heels of a Super Bowl TV ad for RAV4 that featured its new hybrid version.
