  • McDonald’s

Kansas City-based agency Bernstein-Rein (BR) garbbed additional McDonald’s business after competing against two longtime McDonald’s roster agencies for both the creative and media assignment for the Missouri co-op “Big-MO,” Mediapost has reported. This local co-op media business stretches across southern Missouri to northern Arkansas to Western Illinois to northeastern Oklahoma and includes 124 McDonald’s restaurants. This expands BR’s business with the fast-food giant, lifting the number of restaurants that agency will work with to 365. Late last year, the agency went through a local co-op media agency certification process to become qualified for media in addition to creative services.

 

  • Unsun Cosmetics

Sunscreen is moving toward greater sensitivity to diverse skin tones, and on a mass scale. Unsun Cosmetics, known for its shade-inclusive SPF-focused products that sell at UnsunCosmetics.com, Credo and Detox Market, is launching a diffusion line called Unsun Everyday. The collection landed in 180-plus metro-focused Target stores and on Target.com to serve customers of color. Unsun is not the only brand to want to teach diverse consumers about sun protection. For the first time in its 22-year history, SheaMoisture is also venturing into sun care. The Unilever-acquired brand debuted its first SPF 35 body product, as well as a pre-swim sun protector for hair and an after-sun body cream, earlier this month exclusively with 3,000 Walmart stores and Walmart.com. SheaMoisture’s sun protection products range from $11.97 to $13.97.Sunscreen that is best suited to multicultural skin tones is made from natural ingredients, such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, and then tinted. But many are not tinted enough. Other chemical-based formulas, made up of avobenzone and oxybenzone, may also work but typically require a clear base. Katonya Breaux, Unsun Cosmetics founder, launched Unsun in 2016 because existing sunscreens left a filmy residue on her darker skin. Her recent move with Target not only gives the brand a larger physical retail footprint but it also allows women of color access to sunscreens free of chemicals.With the Target launch, Unsun expects to double 2018 sales at a minimum.According to Nielsen, multicultural consumers (including that African-American, Asian and Hispanic people) account for about 42% of the personal soap and bath needs category, or US$1.3 billion, and 32% of the fresheners and deodorant category, which is over US$774 million. 

 

  • Target

Target may acquire Triad Retail Media, The Wall Street Journal reported.WPP’s Triad Retail Media unit helps brands design digital advertising campaigns and also sells media space on retailers’ websites. Target has an existing relationship with WPP as a large media-buying client. While Target’s discussions with Triad are reportedly only in the preliminary phase, pursuing the group would make sense for the big-box retailer if it wants to keep up with key rivals Walmart and Amazon that are quickly ramping up their advertising businesses. Triad was acquired by WPP for about US$300 million in 2016.

  • Lexus

Lexus is pleased to fill that role as the official vehicle of Sony Pictures’ “Men in Black: International,” slated to open in U.S. theaters June 14, 2019. The second trailer for the film was released t MeninBlack.com. Lexus vehicles are the official fleet of Men in Black agents globally in the film. The 2020 Lexus RC F stars as the Men in Black agents’ vehicle of choice for their high velocity pursuits. The luxury sport coupe recently underwent an exciting change, making it faster, lighter and even more ready to transport the Men in Black as they save the universe. The Lexus RC F offers the best power-to-weight ratio in its class and the most powerful Lexus V8 to date, generating 472-horsepower – plus in the film it boasts some pretty amazing alien tech. The Lexus RX Hybrid and Lexus LX SUVs are also featured in film scenes with alien encounters.The collaboration between Lexus and Sony Pictures’ “Men in Black: International” includes integration in the film, a co-branded TV spot, a custom Men in Black RC F and sponsorship of the film premiere. The 30-second spot, an effor of Sony and Team One, shows off the vehicle with the two stars of the movie, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. The spot debuts on broadcast and will air during cable and network sports including the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, late night including “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and on prime time and cable, in addition to advanced TV, digital and social.

  • Water Sports Foundation (WSF)

For the third consecutive year, the Water Sports Foundation (WSF) of the United States launches in partnership with Hispanic Communications Network (HCN), a new edition of its successful multimedia educational campaign, to promote the use of life jackets among members of Latino families across the country. The campaign coincides with the completion of the National Week of Safe Navigation (NSBW), from May 24 to 31.Another of the activities of the NSBW includes going one day to work with life jackets, in order to highlight the importance of using the vest as other security elements that are already part of our daily life, such as the safety belt in cars.”Unfortunately, our Latino community has one of the highest percentages of people, especially children, who can not swim. It is proven that the use of vests saves lives. In the case of Latino families, that benefit is more important than among any other group,” said HCN President Alison Rodden.The new campaign seeks to continue efforts to inspire a culture of maritime safety among the Spanish-speaking public, through Public Service Messages in the network of affiliated stations of HCN, in the programming of shows of the Hispanic Network, as well as messages multimedia on their sites on social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The campaign will be broadcast from May 24 to 31 at the national level.
