Ex-LatinWorks President Sergio Alcocer Opens Agency Called Rest of the World

A veteran of Hispanic marketing, Sergio Alcocer, launches a new agency that he dubs, "an agency founded in and for the Trump era..” where he looks to “..bring Latin-inspired creative to the mainstream.” A move that sounds like someone interested in influencing and/or building true total market campaigns that are rooted in deep consumer insights that are relevant for today’s multicultural society. With so many conglomerate agencies it will be interesting to see how Alcocer navigates them while building critical mass to help move not only the industry but advertisers on how they think and act relative to multicultural marketing. http://adage.com/article/agency-news/latinworks-cco-sergio-alcocer-opens-agency-rest-world/307702/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social

The Secret to In-N-Out’s Cult Following

In the face of global growth a competitor founded just down the road in the 800 lb. gorilla in QSR known as McDonald’s, not even with the onslaught of the better-for-you burger brands like Shake Shack and in spite of a comparable small geographic footprint In-N-Out Burger has built a cult-like following by maintaining a laser focus on its brand identity of keeping things simple, maniacally executed against that promise and providing a dash of secret menus. https://www.qsrmagazine.com/competition/secret-n-out-s-cult-following?utm_campaign=20170814&utm_medium=email&utm_source=jolt

Billionaire Carlos Slim to Launch TV Channel Exclusively Targeting Mexican Americans

Not one to doubt the business instincts of someone like a Carlos Slim. Still a curious move to launch a network targeting the Mexican American audience. While all census projections show the US Hispanic population continuing to grow almost all also reflect a change in the sub-demographic showing that the percent of US Hispanics that speak Spanish is in decline due to a variety of reasons (e.g: acculturation, slowing number of immigration). That being said the network could potentially follow the route of having more cultural nuances or lead points that would be relevant for US Hispanic audiences while blending the languages between English and Spanish to make it more relevant especially for Millennials. https://www.portada-online.com/2017/01/20/billionaire-carlos-slim-to-launch-tv-channel-exclusively-targeting-mexican-americans/
