Tide isn't afraid to take a risk. After the 2018 Super Bowl featured the laundry detergent hijacking the game, the brand is back with another out of left field spot—a spot that makes zero reference to the brand. Its four-week "Laundry Night" campaign, which featured spots during Sunday Night Football, The Voice and other NBC shows, ended with another collaboration with Bud Light.
But in this partnership, the spot features a revived Bud Knight facing a situation worse than death: being abandoned by your friends for an even bigger, better Bud Knight.

As one of the youngest and fastest-growing demographics in the U.S., brands really need to be authentic with their marketing strategies. Hispanic marketing cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. A recent report from Nielsen, La Oportunidad Latinx, Cultural Currency and the Consumer Journey points out that if brands are not attuned to Latinx values and habits, they risk missing out on this powerful market, which is reshaping the U.S. mainstream.

Ultimately, marketers need to realize their picture of a Latinx person is often narrow-minded and unrealistic. If they want to tap into this rich and diverse demographic—the right way—it's time to not only hire diverse professionals, but more importantly, expand the depictions they present to be far more inclusive and reflective of the rich community and history they come from.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a mixed bag. On the positive side, it's a moment to pay respect to this burgeoning demographic that can no longer be ignored. Any time a group is honored, that's a good thing. However, it's a slippery slope for this to become a purely commercial pursuit, laden with offensive stereotypes from brands that only pop in on Sept. 15 every year. No more piñatas and Mexican burros! The trick is to lead with insights instead, and demonstrate a commitment to the community year round. If you do that, it's not just a CSR program…it's a recipe for major revenue streams from a loyal demographic.
