The Strategy Behind the Campaign

The Power of Emotion

"In a saturated market, brands that manage to establish an emotional connection with their consumers are the ones that thrive." This statement, supported by neuroscience studies, emphasizes the importance of emotions in the decision-making process. Quilmes has understood this principle and designed its campaign to resonate in the hearts of its audience.

"By integrating Franco Colapinto, a rising young talent, the brand not only associates itself with the dynamism of the sport but also targets a young audience seeking authenticity and fresh energy." The spot combines a message of camaraderie and celebration, elements that are fundamental in Latin American culture.

 

Innovation and Modernity

The Quilmes spot is not just a simple promotion; it exemplifies how innovation can transform a brand's perception. "Creativity is the new oil," say marketing experts, and Quilmes has expertly tapped into this resource.

The use of the word "pinta" in the campaign context is a clever wordplay that, in addition to being witty, invites conversation. "The best advertising campaigns are those that get people talking about them," remarks an engagement specialist.

 


The Collectible: An Icon of Desire

The brand activation includes a collectible glass that promises to become an object of desire. "Collectible products generate a sense of belonging and nostalgia that is hard to resist." This glass, bearing Colapinto's signature, is not just a beer vessel; it becomes a symbol of shared experiences among friends and family.

 

"Collecting is a strategy that can establish a lasting relationship between the consumer and the brand." By creating a product that people want to have, Quilmes is not just selling beer; it is selling an experience and a memory.

Milei en Miami: el discurso de la "Revolución Capitalista" y su impacto real en inversores internacionales (análisis para inversores y empresarios)

(Por Taylor y Maqueda desde Brickell, colaboración especial de Marcelo Maurizio) Frente a 10.000 personas en el American Business Forum de Miami,  ovacionado en reiteradas oportunidades, Javier Milei ejecutó perfectamente el guión que inversores conservadores esperaban oír: "Dos de cada tres argentinos apoyan este camino" y "no existe crecimiento económico sin defensa de la propiedad privada".  

La comunidad argentina y latinoamericana que ha huido del estatismo socialista, la audiencia perfecta para Javier Milei en Miami

(Por Marcelo Maurizio, con la colaboración de Rovmistrosky y Maqueda) Para entender por qué Milei eligió Miami para este discurso, hay que comprender la composición única de la diáspora argentina aquí. Javier fue recibido con aplausos, gritos, aplausos, “te amo” y por supuesto “viva la libertad …” por venezolanos, colombianos, brasileños, españoles y miles de argentinos que huyeron del estatismo socialista de los gobiernos de sus países.
