The Hispanic segment is the largest group in California. Hispanic retailers have four major areas within their stores that represent an opportunity to connect with shoppers in a culturally relevant way through messaging: Meat, Bakery, Produce, Deli. However, there is no targeted occasion-based portfolio messaging available to activate.
Develop an evergreen platform that will support retailers in activating priority areas of their stores, aiming to drive frequency and affinity for multiple brands with Hispanic shoppers.
We conducted regional market visits and spoke to owners of Hispanic stores to firsthand understand the challenges and opportunities. Taking these learnings, we proposed a creative concept and key messages to apply in each POI. After leading a photo shoot with multicultural talent and food, we developed POS and merchandising based on authentic meals rituals, to activate throughout the path to purchase.
The platform needs to create culturally relevant, connections, consistent across all food destinations in-store, all drinking moments and most importantly, all pulse periods –local and national.
Be a part of shoppers’ food solutions to keep their loved-ones together and their traditions alive
The communication and initiatives should lead to enabling and enhancing moments of togetherness that our shoppers are always looking forward to.
The plan should provide support for the portfolio brands –collectively and individually– focusing on retailers’ opportunities and priorities.
First, we had to walk the marketplace to understand each retailer’s needs and opportunities for activation
