IBM Thinks Bigger; It’s In The Company’s DNA To Do So

Technology that ushers in sweeping societal changes ought to come with a warning, but that’s fanciful thinking in unregulated America. On these brave shores, we believe in self-reliance and self-regulation, prolonged fantasies both. I often wonder, did Steve Jobs know what he was unleashing with the iPhone because the impact has not been all good. […]

How Do You See Her? When Do You See Her? Where Do You See Her?

Media is a false mirror. It’s false because it doesn’t show us who we are. It shows us who we are programmed to be. Media makers have a professional obligation to widen the lens. Advertisers often ask for people of color in their ads to showcase their awareness and sensitivity and to appeal to the […]

Diversity Isn’t A Board Game; Drop Your Excuses At the Door

Honda Targets Hispanic Millennials by Mocking the Way Brands Target Hispanic Millennials

Young Latino consumers: They’re hip! They’re mobile! They lead active, on-the-go lifestyles!

They’re also, you know, pretty much like anybody else—though that’s something marketers rarely want to hear when they’re paying small fortunes for demographic “experts” to demystify the millennials who live at an every-growing cultural crossroads in America.

Honda pokes some fun at the marketing world’s Hispanic fixation in its newest ads from the Santa Monica-based Orci agency for the Fit. Wild-haired comedian Felipe Esparza serves as a tour guide of sorts into the world of young Latinos, only to find that they’re mostly just focused on running errands and getting to work.

“Are we going to a party?” he asks a couple from the back seat. 

“We’re…just going to the movies,” the young woman replies.

He’s also shocked to learn that instead of packing their trunk with trendy fixies, they’re just grabbing groceries. “Groceries? Rebels!” 

Agency president Andrew Orcí says the spots, shot in Spanish and English, began with the idea that brands often try to fit Hispanic consumers into specific patterns and niches, when in fact it’s a group that’s pretty much impossible to lump into a few convenient categories.

“Latino millennials are much more than what we make of them. They are a versatile bunch. They ping-pong between cultures, languages, interests and behaviors. That’s why it’s funny when you hear others trying to fit them into their box of clichés,” Orcí says.

“Felipe Esparza, as our ‘Latino expert,’ is the perfect voice to make fun of this situation. Why? Because not even a Latino can define a Latino. They simply defy all expectations.”

Bus Stop Series

« By the Bus Stop » vient de l’idée du photographe anglais Richard Hooker, passionné par l’arrêt de bus en tant que lieu de transition et de mélange social. Il a donc immortalisé à travers Londres les passagers de bus entre les années 2001 et 2005. Une idée simple mais très réussie à découvrir dans la suite.
