SPAM “Sabor A Mi Manera”

Entered in Multicultural Community Engagement, Short Form Video

Objective

The main objective was to connect Hispanic consumers with the Spam brand through custom integrated culturally relevant content, social, and media. We were successfully able to drive a lift in consideration, favorability, and awareness.

 

Strategy

SPAM “Sabor A Mi Manera” was a Sponsored content campaign that introduced SPAM® Brand to HipLatina’s audience as a quick and easy way to make classic recipes, with a twist!

Starting a new life as an independent adult can be a daunting endeavor. Often, no one prepares you for the array of considerations that come with stepping out of your parents' home for the first time and venturing into a new city where you must rely solely on yourself.

Enter "Sabor a mi Manera" (Flavor my way) a sponsored ingeniously crafted video to forge deep connections with the vibrant Hispanic market, particularly the younger demographic. These individuals navigate lives brimming with responsibilities, constantly seeking practical kitchen solutions to complement their bustling lifestyles.

In this captivating content, sponsored by SPAM® Classic, we are introduced to two Latine roommates who share with our audience a series of convenient, versatile, and craveable recipes. Who says making tacos is difficult? With SPAM® Classic, achieving great flavor in iconic Latine recipes is hassle-free.
