LatinWorks Releases New Campaign for Cine las Américas

Mi Blog es tu Blog — Tue, 11 May 2010 14:52:03 +0000

Austin, Texas-based LatinWorks this year continued its use of real footage of Latin American news, politics and current events to spice up its pitch for Cine Las Americas.

Unlike last year’s campaign, the new spots combine real footage with original creative, which serves as a sort of background to illustrate the hilarious absurdity of the speeches.

I still like last year’s campaign much better.

What do you think?

…On Hugo Chávez diatribe about saving water in the shower

…On Miss Antioquia’s “profound thoughts” on men and women

…On Cristina Kirchner’s speech about the importance of eating pork

Long Face? You Might Want to Try Boost Mobile

Corona Extra Wants to Refresh Who We Are

Mi Blog es tu Blog — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:15:22 +0000

La Comunidad, the Hispanic AOR for Corona Extra, this week broke a new campaign encouraging U.S. Hispanics to reconnect with our Latino “cultural identity and values”… which, judging from these spots, means: Let’s not get too uptight about being on time, let’s dance like real Latinos and pleaaseee never send back a soccer ball with your hands! (Ser Latino es más relajado, ¡no nos gusta verte estresado!)

I personally think this is one of those instances where the use of stereotypes is not only OK, but by becoming the very heart of the campaign, they make it cool. What do you think?

Watch and enjoy. These are as fresh as that Corona beer in your freezer that you are just dying to pop open! Oh, and leave your comentarios por favor.

Who said only Cristina or Don Francisco could endorse your product en español?

Dennis Haysbert, whose baritone voice has assured us like, forever, that with Allstate we are in “Good Hands,” now wants you to to know that with Allstate you are en “Buenas manos.” Haysbert this month made his Spanish-language debut in a series of television commercials now airing on most Hispanic networks.
