New York - This week Tecate Light, cervezas
con carácter, launched its latest advertising campaign, ‘Born Bold’. The campaign will run for the next 42 weeks
and includes radio, OOH, PR, immersive digital and #BornBold social activations
in Spanish and English, and for the first time ever, the Black Eagle will take
flight on local English broadcast TV.
In introducing ’Born
Bold’, the brand is taking its iconic Black Eagle and putting it at the center
of a campaign touting a full-flavored light beer that is worthy of the hunt.
“There are 21 million
bi-cultural Hispanics in the Sunbelt who are confident and fluid in their
Mexican and American duality – meaning they’re equally comfortable living in
both worlds,” said Max Skowron, Senior Marketing Director, Tecate. “Our
demographic embodies the Black Eagle; they were born with real swagger, and
because of Tecate Light’s superior flavor and strong personality, we will be
bold in our campaign to become their beer of choice.”
The campaign approach
represents how bi-cultural men, and Tecate Light, were born with something
extra. And, when combined with a major increase in spending from 2014, it is
primed to accelerate the brand’s growth and solidify its place as the
fastest-growing, best- tasting premium light beer in the U.S.’ Sunbelt states.
In the 30-second and
15-second TV spots, created by Tecate Light with Saatchi & Saatchi NY,
viewers are introduced to the Black Eagle used as a metaphor for the
demographic. Both “Apartment” and “Work” take different paths to showcase the
values, character and friendships of the Black Eagle, as well as, his
never-ending hunt for the bold flavor of Tecate Light.
Saatchi & Saatchi
NY’s Chief Creative Officer, Jay Benjamin notes: “Tecate Light is a brand that
has a natural place in New America. The Born Bold campaign recognizes the
boldness of our audience and we’re excited to see where the Black Eagle flies.”
To complement its ongoing
social engagement strategy, Tecate Light will release an eight-part episodic
video series called “One Bold Night.” Here, online viewers will follow the
Black Eagle through an incredible story where him and his crew experience the
most extraordinarily epic night ever.
Later in the year, the
Black Eagle will also be on the hunt for the boldest moment of the year for
bi-culturals and create a new holiday in a major media market for fans to
celebrate that little something extra.
The ‘Born Bold’ campaign
is the first for an entirely new roster of agencies selected at the end of 2014
including Saatchi & Saatchi NY (TV, radio, OOH, digital & social),
BRAYA (public relations), Mirrorball (event activation) and Geometry (retail
activation).
