A summary for Corporate Marketers, Media Sales Executives and Advertising Agencies to see what clients are moving into the Hispanic market and/or targeting Hispanic consumers right now.

  • Nationwide Insurance

NationwideNationwide Insurance on Saturday kicked off its multiyear partnership with the Dallas Cowboys with media, on-site activation, branding and hospitality at Cowboys Stadium, where the Cowboys will take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Nationwide will also be tagging existing “Join the Nation” TV ads with “proud partner of the Cowboys” language. Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Ware, meanwhile, will be featured in Cowboys-themed radio, digital and print advertising, sharing his experience as a Nationwide Insurance member. Hitching the Nationwide brand to the Dallas Cowboys star makes sense—to both parties, said  Jerry Jones Jr., executive VP and chief sales and marketing officer of the Dallas Cowboys. “As far as the visibility of the Dallas Cowboys and what we believe our brand means, a lot of our partners use that to leverage and their corporate initiatives. That’s the nature of the sports business—taking that visibility and excitement of our fans and tapping into it with the relationship,” he said, adding that the parallels between how the team and Nationwide view their respective constituents quickly became obvious to both parties. “They have a membership that’s very similar to how we look at our fan base and season ticket-holders—they are really members of the organization. That really tied into how we do things.”Texas and the Dallas Cowboys made sense for Nationwide for a number of reasons, Nationwide Executive VP and CMO Matt Jauchius, told Forbes. Texas is a “massive state with a massive population” and a large Hispanic audience, he said, and “because that’s a growth area for us, it all fell together perfectly,” he said. And the Dallas Cowboys “are the most popular team in the most popular sport in the nation.”
