2006 BRONZE

El cerdo es bueno (Pork is Good)

The National Pork Board discovered that Hispanic consumers had a genuine love of pork but limited their consumption because of deeply engrained fears and misperceptions about pork's safety and healthfulness. This campaign set out to replace the myths with truths and increase pork expenditures. With a culturally relevant, integrated program, the campaign succeeded in increasing pork's acceptability and purchase frequency among Hispanic consumers throughout the U.S.

2005 GOLD

Lo Autentico Se Reconoce

Finally, An Authentic Mexican Beer Tecate, a top beer brand in Mexico, immigrated to the US and quickly found an audience with 1st Generation Mexicans. However, greater growth was possible by expanding its target to a new generation of drinkers: 2nd and 3rd Generation Mexican Americans. The new target viewed Tecate as an outdated beer that their father's drank. To change perceptions, the "Lo Autentico Se Reconoce" campaign leveraged the expanding target's existing brand heritage and focused on the key insight that the target works hard for things and do not identify fake people. The campaign, in which, authentically prevailed, resulted in exceeding depletion goals and revamped the brand image with excellent above norm scores.
