Strong Brand Recognition for Mexican Americans

La Costeña and Jumex are well known brands in Mexico and as a result very popular among Mexican Americans. MexicoRico.com leverages this equity to connect with both Mexican Americans who know the brand and general market consumers who are looking for authentic Mexican recipes and cooking tips.

As more food companies realize that Hispanic consumers are critical for growth, many are turning to digital channels to educate Hispanic consumers about their products in order to drive brand awareness, affinity, and sales. Recent studies from Nielsen and Google indicate that food related searches among U.S. Hispanics are up 70% and the number one thing US Hispanic women search for online are recipes.

Vilore Foods is based in San Antonio, TX and markets the La Costeña, Jumex, Congelli, and Pronto brands in the United States and Canada. It also maintains Strategic Distribution agreements with Procter & Gamble, Mead Johnson Nutrition, and Genomma Lab USA. Founded in 2001, Captura Group is an Hispanic digital agency that creates and manages Hispanic digital programs for Vilore Foods, Kellogg’s, Unilever, BIMBO, Allstate and other brands.
