Hyundai Communications introduced its first bilingual campaign focused on the  first bilingual campaign focused on “The Miles that Unite Us”. The campaign, aimed at both General Market and Hispanic audiences, consists of both English and Spanish :15, :30, and :60 TV commercials, :30 radio spots and streaming audio, and digital assets that will be shared nationally through the end of 2023. ‘The Miles that Unites Us’ was inclusive from the start and developed as a dual-language campaign for both the General and Hispanic markets. “The context of the campaign has a strong emotional connection and cultural relevance that resonates with diverse audiences,” Erik Thomas, Director of Experiential Marketing at Hyundai, tells Portada. The English version, also developed by López Negrete Communications, incorporates culturally significant elements into general market creative for a more inclusive environment, which can be appealing to a general market audience.
According to Thomas, “Hyundai worked in close collaboration with all our agency partners including INNOCEAN, Culture Brands and LNC, as well as work with Canvas Worldwide to service the brand’s account. This long-standing relationship enables longevity and allows close collaboration between creative and media.” “At this time, Hyundai’s new bilingual anthemic brand campaign will focus on General market and U.S. Hispanic market broadcast and digital streaming platforms,” Thomas added. Read our interwiew with Thomas, where he also provides the rational for a bilingual campaign.
