Girls Scouts of the USA recently started a national media campaign that focuses on Hispanic and multicultural recruitment. Reaching that market is crucial to the nearly 100-year old organization, which currently counts one in 10 American girls as members. When the organization launched a major rebranding initiative last year, it also developed Spanish-language advertising to target the Hispanic market. Girl Scouts of the USA secured more than $10 million in donated exposure in Spanish-language media ranging from Telemundo to People en Espanol.
- Conill-Toyota partner with Telemundo
Telemundo partnered with Conill on a new multiplatform marketing campaign for Toyota, celebrating the fans of the network's original primetime telenovela, "Los Herederos Del Monte" (The Del Monte Heirs). Inspired by its "Somos Muchos" (We Are Many) social media campaign, Toyota is giving fans of "Los Herederos Del Monte" the opportunity to become part of the movement and interact with other fans through a multiplatform initiative launched on April 12, 2011. Once a week for four weeks, fans that join the movement via branded online and mobile destinations on Telemundo.com will be celebrated through an innovative 15-second co-branded sequence. Airing at the conclusion of an episode, the sequence appears to be scrolling production credits, which are actually the names of those who participated, reinforcing Toyota's message of "We Are Many." The campaign culminates on-air during an episode of "Los Herederos Del Monte" when the fan base impacts the telenovela through an innovative witness stunt. A character will look at the camera after taking a controversial action, as if everyone were watching them, and text relevant to "Somos Muchos" will appear on the screen briefly before the telenovela resumes. "By embedding the campaign message directly into the fabric of the show, we were able to build a deeper level of intimacy between the brand and the audience," said Pablo Buffagni, Chief Creative Officer, Conill. "As usual, our partners at Telemundo did a terrific job of helping us transform vision into reality."
