  • Cheetos®

When Cheetos® and global music superstar Bad Bunny first introduced the Deja tu Huella™ campaign in 2020 to celebrate the impact that Hispanic culture has made on today’s society, they set out on a mission to inspire the next generation to Deja tu Huella, a phrase that translates to “leave your mark.” As the campaign enters its second phase, Chester Cheetah and Bad Bunny are teaming up once again to spotlight the Hispanic community by bringing fans two exciting experiences ahead of the school year that take Deja tu Huella to the next level: an exclusive fashion collaboration with adidas and the Deja tu Huella Estudiante Fund, a contest that will give US$500,000 in total prizing to students in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The extremely limited adidas leisurewear collection is a product of two innovative design visions coming together: Bad Bunny’s signature style combined with Chester’s orange-themed “Cheetos Look.” Cheetos is giving its biggest fans the chance to get early access to the exclusive items before they’re officially available for purchase on August 6. Fans simply need one thing for the opportunity to cop the drop before anyone else: fingertips covered in Cheetos orange-dust, also known as Cheetle®, which all true Cheetos fans now don as a badge of honor.Fans in the U.S. and Puerto Rico can head to www.CheetleiD.com to use Cheetle iD, a first-of-its-kind Cheetos x adidas e-commerce experience designed to get the merch into the hands of Cheetos’ biggest fans first.There, Chester will use Cheetle iD technology to detect whether fans have Cheetle® on their fingertips.The first 100 people who pass the Cheetle iD detector will have direct access to purchase items from the collection before the rest of the public.Not part of the first 100 fans to use Cheetle iD? No problem. All fans who didn’t get early access can sign up at www.CheetleiD.com to enter for a chance to purchase the merch on August 6 via the NTWRK app.As part of the Deja tu Huella campaign and in partnership with Good Bunny Foundation, Cheetos and Bad Bunny are also welcoming submissions starting today for the Deja tu Huella Estudiante Fund, a contest that will identify ten students leaving their mark on their community and reward them with US$50,000 each that can go towards their education.To enter the #DejatuHuella TikTok Hashtag Challenge, fans in the U.S. and Puerto Rico can submit a :60 video that shows how they are leaving their mark on the community, the culture, or the world, and tag @Cheetos, #DejatuHuella, and #Entry to be eligible.

  • Hyundai

Hyundai’s all-new Santa Cruz is inspired by the city it is named after and the passion for adventure that lives there. In the marketing launch for its first-ever Sport Adventure Vehicle, Hyundai is partnering with former professional skateboarder and documentary filmmaker, Stacy Peralta, and local legends of Santa Cruz, Calif., to show how their spirit of adventure carries into the journeys the segment-defining vehicle can deliver. The digital-led campaign launches with a long-form digital video, “Journey Through Santa Cruz,” starring professional surfer Matt Rockhold, artist Jimbo Phillips and female skate crew Lady Lurkers. These Santa Cruz locals embody the vehicle’s intent, showing how it is equally at home in urban and adventure settings. “The Santa Cruz is a new type of vehicle that combines SUV benefits with open bed versatility to enable the adventures that make journeys fun,” said Angela Zepeda, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. “This digital-first campaign is all about showing the adventure and lifestyle this unique vehicle can deliver for people who live in the city but are driven by nature and outdoor activities.” In addition to the long-form video, Hyundai will run digital pre-roll targeted directly at the Santa Cruz’s distinct, adventure-minded audiences. 30- and 15-second TV spots with footage from the “Journey Through Santa Cruz” shoot will air on national broadcast, including during Sunday Night Football on NBC. The campaign also includes influencer partnerships, social media content, in-market digital activities, out of home advertising and experiential displays at the home games of Hyundai sponsored professional football teams. The campaign was developed and executed by Hyundai’s agency of record, INNOCEAN USA.

Separately,  Hyundai has teamed with Univision as the new presenting sponsor of Sábado Futbolero (Saturday Soccer). Hispanic Americans are a pivotal force in soccer’s growing influence throughout the U.S., and the campaign, #BecauseFútbol, features three new Spanish-language TV spots. The campaign highlights the fan rivalry between Chivas and Cruz Azul of Liga MX, the most-watched club soccer competition in the U.S. The sponsorship and new ads kicked off on Saturday, July 31 for the start of the 2021 Torneo Apertura. “#BecauseFútbol perfectly describes the acts of fandom inspired by Mexico’s top sports league,” said Angela Zepeda, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. “We wanted to join in that spirit with a campaign that entertains fans and connects with Hispanic audiences each week on Univision’s broadcast.” The new Hyundai TV spots, directed by Argentine Martin Kalina of Pulse Films and edited by Kyle Brown of Exile, include: AsadoA BBQ with Rivals.   #BecauseFútbol was conceived and executed by Hyundai’s agency of record, INNOCEAN USA.
