Signet Jewelers Targets Hispanic millennials. 
Signet Jewelers has released its first foreign-language advertising campaigns in the US market, targeting Hispanic millennials expected to marry in the coming years.The Spanish ads, which are for the jeweler’s Jared and Zales banners, premiered in the two weeks before Valentine’s Day, with the Jared ad continuing to run for an additional week. After the campaign ends, Signet will review the data and decide whether to bring the ads back later in the spring. The company focused on those two banners because their geographic location lends itself to a higher percentage of Hispanic customers, but there are plans to roll out additional ads across all banners.Signet plans to launch the campaign nationally on television and digital, including YouTube, video on demand, Telemundo, Univision and ESPN Deportes. The move is part of the company’s new customer-first focus, which it has been implementing over the past year and a half as part of its broader Path to Brilliance plan to realign the company with consumer demand.Hispanics comprise approximately 18% of the US population, and about 23% to 24% of millennialse.
