  • Target

    Target’s Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) campaign includes in-store activations curating and showcasing products made for – and created by – Latinos to ensure guests feel a sense of belonging. These products – and their Latino founders – are being highlighted in much of Target’s creative campaign. Online activation is done via Target.com/MasQue, which will serve as the digital destination for all content.  Although this online hub will go live during HHM, its content will be available year-round to continue to engage and build meaningful connections with our Latino guests and team members.  Target’s Hispanic Heritage campaign activations also include a celebration of team members who are at the center of its HHM efforts, all of which were planned in conjunction with the company’s Hispanic Business Council. Target is also contributing back to the community through contributions to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation’s 33rd Hispanic Heritage Awards. The company is also spotlighting the positive contributions and inspirational stories of Major League Soccer pro, Osvaldo “Ozzie” Alonso – a Cuban soccer star with the Minnesota United Football Club and Mexican artist and muralist Armando Silva who is currently working to create a soccer pitch mural through Target’s partnership with the U.S Soccer Foundation.
