Highest Populated Hispanic CiDes
Target Audience • For our research, we concluded that US Hispanics are the fastest growing consumer in America.
They are very social who use the Internet as their primary source of informa3on. US Hispanics believe in their cultural tradi3ons when it comes to family, rela3onships, and marriage. When it comes to leisure, pleasure, and entertainment, Hispanics are more Americanized. They prefer to mix the two customs together incorpora3ng both family and American entertainment together.
• Our campaign will do just that. We plan to have a Minion Expedi3on which will travel across the na3on stopping at the highest Hispanic populated ci3es. The expedi3on will incorporate games, food, music, and fun. We will team up with local food trucks, a up-‐and-‐coming trend in the U.S. to “minionze” their menus. We will promote on television first, crea3ng a buzz in the Hispanic community to go online to find out more informa3on on the expedi3on. We will promote at local Wal-‐Mart’s, since shopping is a huge part of the Hispanic community and will also promote within the theaters prior to the release of Despicable Me 2 because Hispanics enjoy going to the movie theaters as a family. We believe that incorpora3ng family and fun together, will directly target our specific demographic and create a buzz around the sequel being released on July 3rd, 2013.

projector in the subway car that will project our commercial and our promo3onal ads about the Minion Expedi3on and Despicable Me 2. This will be effec3ve because our target audience spends a lot of 3me and money on transporta3on.
