We’re a creative, fun, loud, and awfully smart bunch of marketing junkies who love what we do and have fun doing it. While other folks enjoy the ads during the Super Bowl, we’re thrilled to walk the aisles of our favorite supermarkets and convenience stores. We love to see what makes our consumers tick, what they’re buying, and why they’re buying it. As you might have surmised, we not only think a little differently than your average agency, we act a little differently as well. |
We get it. At the end of the day, it’s not about glamorous photo shoots, celebrity spokespeople or lofty brand positionings in fancy powerpoint decks. It’s about sales. Moving the needle, getting your product in the consumers’ hands and empowering them to tell their friends and buy again. Not an easy task by any means but one that we gladly take on time and time again. Our experience tells a story.
Bottom up? Top down? You’ve heard those terms before. Back in the day, top down was all you needed. Spanish language TV and radio networks could shout your message from highest hills and consumers would listen. Today, listening is not enough. Hispanic consumers are bombarded with brand messages. They are tuning out noise. Starting at the bottom means starting where your consumers live, work and play. It means starting a conversation, listening to them for a change, engaging, understanding and delivering your brand message in a powerful, new way. On their terms, on their turf.
Knowledge, insights and experience aren’t always enough to achieve success. We keep our fingers on the pulse of the Hispanic community. And the proprietary tools we’ve developed allow us to gather and share those insights with clients almost instantly.
The heart and soul of Hispanic communities are the conversations and connections that keep the culture alive. For the past decade, Mercury Mambo has been fostering these moments through live events, at fairs and festivals and retail experiences. Now the Internet allows these conversations to cross borders; not only to empower consumers but also to reconnect and reinforce brand engagements. After all, Hispanics almost created social networks – hosting weekly family gatherings, organizing comadrazos, embracing extended families and even creating micro-lending networks for cousins and uncles!
We're currently working on a white paper on Hispanics and their online behavior. Let us know if you'd like to be contacted when it is complete.
For the past ten years, we have had the great fortune of working with some of the country’s best brands. We have introduced relatively unknown brands to Hispanic consumers and have worked with brands rich in heritage and history within the Hispanic market. Each campaign has been rooted in a consumer insight and leveraged to create brand momentum that resulted in sales. Check them out for yourself. We think you’ll like what you see.
On our clients, on our consumers, on our community and heck, even on our company! We aspire to deliver clients a flawless, transparent execution that delivers results. To give consumers brand experiences that empower. To actively participate in the community for its betterment. And to create a dynamic work environment where team members can thrive and inspire others. We call our little part of the world Mamboville and we think it’s something special.
