Kia Motors Reveals New Brand Personality In 90-second Super Bowl Spot

February 3, 2019

0

IRVINE, California, Feb. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For its 10^th consecutive year advertising during the Super Bowl, Kia Motors America took an unconventional approach. Instead of the usual celebrity glitz and glamour, Kia used its 90-second spot to honor the working-class spirit of Americans nationwide and reintroduce the brand through its upcoming all-new flagship SUV, the 2020 Kia Telluride¹.

2020 Telluride

Kia’s 360-degree “Give It Everything” marketing campaign kicked off with the Super Bowl spot of the same name. The ad opened on a young boy who hails from West Point, Georgia, and who stated, “We are not famous. There are no stars in a sidewalk for us. No statues in our honor. We’re just a small Georgia town of complete unknowns.” He continued, “Because we are not known for who we are, we hope to be known for what we do. What we build.” The viewer then saw the first glimpse of the all-new 2020 Kia Telluride SUV, as the voiceover continued, “No, we are not famous. But we are incredible. And we make incredible things.” The spot, which aired during the third quarter, ended with the tagline: “Give It Everything.”

Designed with the U.S. market in mind at Kia’s design studio in California, and assembled in Georgia*, the big, bold and boxy Telluride will travel down the same manufacturing line as the award-winning Sorento*, the highest-ranked Midsize SUV in the most recent J.D. Power Initial Quality Study and proof positive that high-quality American-built vehicles are not just from Detroit.

New Brand Positioning: Give It Everything

For years, Kia remained humble and somewhat unnoticed as it honed and perfected each vehicle in the brand’s world-class lineup. The tagline, “Give It Everything” highlights Kia’s unstoppable spirit to try harder, work smarter, build better and sweat every detail, and will be part of all Kia advertising and marketing campaigns moving forward.

“Today marks a new direction for Kia and one that has been a long time in the making,” said Saad Chehab, vice president, marketing communications, Kia Motors America. “We’ve spent the last 10-plus years quietly improving our vehicles by hiring the best designers, engineers and assembly line workers. In other words, ‘Giving It Everything.’ And instead of using a celebrity in our Super Bowl ad, we chose to honor the hard-working people of America, starting with the thousands of men and women at our U.S.-based manufacturing plant. At Kia, we are fueled by an unstoppable spirit to try harder, work smarter and sweat every detail, and this year our spotlight shines on people who have defied odds and exceeded expectations. People like us.”

Highlighting the spirit of the brand’s team members, the campaign also unveils Just a Small Georgia Town, a short form documentary that uncovers the story of West Point, GA., the small town that rose from the ashes of a collapsed textile industry, relying on only its courage to see it through to the other side, before finally finding new life when Kia opened its new plant there in 2009. This documentary is available on the web at www.thegreatunknowns.org.

“This is an open invitation to Americans to consider the Kia brand when looking for a new vehicle,” continued Chehab. “All of us that work at Kia are just like the hard-working folks in that small town of West Point and small towns throughout the country. We work hard and want more from the companies we engage with. That’s why Kia vehicles include more features and options, more warranty and more quality than the competition. As the number one mainstream brand in initial quality for the past four years according to J.D. Power, Kia is the brand that does, in fact, “Give It Everything.”

The Great Unknowns Scholarship

In an unusual move, the money saved by not paying a celebrity for this year’s Super Bowl ad will be used to create The Great Unknowns Scholarship, to assist eligible students who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs. The goal is to discover and reward young Americans who embody the spirit of “Give It Everything,” and help them pursue their academic dreams. For more information on the “The Great Unknowns Scholarship”, including eligibility requirements and application process, visit www.thegreatunknowns.org.

“The Great Unknowns Scholarship is Kia’s way of fostering the next generation of amazing professionals, the ones that will keep America profitable, grow the economy and give back to their communities. These are the ones that Give It Everything and we look forward to their contributions to America,” continued Chehab.

Other elements of the integrated campaign include print, digital, social and outdoor. Post-Super Bowl, a sustain phase will follow with 30 and 15 second cutdowns of “Give It Everything” along with heavy-duty features-led spots for the Telluride, including a Presidents’ Day spot. The digital rollout includes static and HTML5 banners across Lifestyle and Shopping websites and four feature-focused videos that will run in pre-roll. Social assets include social skins, GIFs, Instagram stories, Facebook Carousel and Canvas units through the remainder of the campaign.

About Kia Motors America

Headquartered in Irvine, California, Kia Motors America continues to top quality surveys and is recognized as one of the 100 Best Global Brands and 50 Best Global Green Brands by Interbrand. Kia serves as the “Official Automotive Partner” of the NBA and LPGA and offers a complete range of vehicles sold through a network of nearly 800 dealers in the U.S., including cars and SUVs proudly assembled in West Point, Georgia.*

Puerto Rico-based Franchisees Receive Highest Honor in the FASTSIGNS System

FASTSIGNS of Puerto Rico Team Celebrates after Winning The 2019 FASTSIGNS® Award

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Jose Corujo, Juan A. Rivera, and Teresa Caballero, Master franchise owners of FASTSIGNS® Puerto Rico, which includes three locations, received national recognition as the recipients of The FASTSIGNS® Award at the 2019 FASTSIGNS International Convention recently held in Orlando, Florida.

This award, which is the most prestigious recognition in the franchise network of over 700 locations in nine countries worldwide, is presented to the franchisees who best represent the FASTSIGNS brand in their community and in the network, and provide exceptional customer service, mentoring, company culture and employee development. FASTSIGNS Puerto Rico also received an award for their involvement in the Franchise Advisory Council.

“It is a huge honor for us. We feel it is such a high recognition to receive this award, because we know the quality of our peers within the franchise network. It’s impossible to describe how we felt, and it was very emotional,” said Caballero.

Having a strong client base on the island through a company that specialized in POP (point-of-purchase) marketing, Corujo, Rivera and Caballero converted their existing business in 2012 into FASTSIGNS. The team signed a Master Franchise Agreement to expand the FASTSIGNS brand into Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic.

During 2012, FASTSIGNS opened its first Puerto Rican center in Guaynabo, followed by the Caguas center in 2014 and Carolina in 2015. FASTSIGNS Puerto Rico also has a production workshop, located in the Lucchetti Industrial Park, and its more than 19 employees are proud to contribute to the local economy with their sales talent and production capacity.

“With conversions, franchise owners have the tools but it is up to each of us to take those tools out into the market and to the next level. Knowing that FASTSIGNS didn’t yet have a presence in Puerto Rico, we worked to raise awareness on a local and national level,” said Corujo. “It took courage, requiring us to leave what we were currently doing and take the next step. Our story shows that if franchisees embrace the model, it really pays off. We are extremely proud of all of the hours we invested as we made every effort to embody and share the FASTSIGNS brand.”

When the island was devastated by Hurricane Maria, in 2017, all three locations were without power for a period of time with only their production center powered by a generator. They provided support financially and emotionally to their employees.

“The Hurricane Maria situation changed not only us but the whole island’s psyche. The way that we approach problems is quite different now,” said Rivera, franchise owner with FASTSIGNS Puerto Rico. “We were forced to keep moving. This made us and the team stronger. We learned no matter how tough things may look, there’s a light on the other side.”

“This team excels in solving visual communications, helping customers achieve their objectives, and represents the FASTSIGNS brand with passion, excellence and enthusiasm,” said FASTSIGNS International, Inc. CEO, Catherine Monson. “Not only are they committed to FASTSIGNS, they are also committed to helping their local community while consistently having a positive impact. They’ve also been amazing in helping us grow the FASTSIGNS network both domestically and internationally. We are thankful to have them as members of the FASTSIGNS family.”

About FASTSIGNS^®FASTSIGNS^®is a locally and independently owned and operated sign, graphics and visual communications company that provides comprehensive visual marketing solutions to customers of all sizes—across all industries—to help them attract more attention, communicate their message, sell more products, help visitors find their way and extend their branding across all of their customer touch points including décor, events, wearables, digital signage and marketing materials.

Estreno mundial del video "B.A.E. Remix” de Nesty en colaboración con Emilio Jaime y Luciana Fuster exclusivamente en LaMusica app y LaMusica.com

MIAMI, Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — LaMusica, the digital platform of Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) (OTCQX: SBSAA) premiered today exclusively the brand new music video from the artist Nesty. Looking to make his return to the Latin Pop Urban scene that surely missed him, Nesty’s “B.A.E. Remix” has him teaming up with the young Peruvian duo, and real-life couple, Emilio Jaime and Luciana Fuster.

World premiere of music video "B.A.E. Remix" by Nesty in collaboration with Emilio Jaime and Luciana Fuster exclusively on LAMUSICA APP and LAMUSICA.COM (PRNewsfoto/Spanish Broadcasting System, In)

The video was filmed in Miami, FL and features the two male leads competing for the attention of the lovely Luciana, who is making her singing debut on B.A.E. Remix. Luciana more than holds her own, and it’s easy to see her eventually putting forth her own solo project. Her talent and beauty shines through, while Emilio Jaime continues to add credits to his career in music, having already recorded with the Puerto Rican group N’Klabe. Nesty, for his part, seems genuinely excited, even anxious, for his fans to hear his new music. The singer released his debut album, “Real Boy” in June 2017, under the Rottweilas label (led by Jaime Cosculluela and Alejandro Quintana). And with the incredible force with which Latin Music dominated the charts in 2018, it’s clear why he’s looking to make his statement in 2019.

LaMusica is proud to premiere Nesty’s latest project. We consider him to be one of the most promising young stars in the genre. Emilio Jaime and Luciana Fuster, meanwhile, have also taken a major step forward with B.A.E. Remix, proving to themselves, and now the world, that the new generation in Latin Pop Urban is here to seize the moment.

The music video for Nesty’s B.A.E. Remix featuring Emilio Jaime and Luciana Fuster can be seen exclusively on LaMusica (via its mobile app and/or website: www.lamusica.com) until Monday, February 4th, 2019. The music video will be made available on all other digital platforms on Tuesday, February 5th, 2019.

February 1, 2019

American Honda today reported January sales increases for both Honda and Acura brands. The Acura RDX led gains for the company, with sales rising 41 percent to help push the Acura brand up 9.6 percent for the month.

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

American Honda			Honda			Acura
Total	Cars	Trucks	Total	Cars	Trucks	Total	Cars	Trucks
106,139	47,401	58,738	96,375	45,224	51,598	9,764	2,624	7,140
+1.5%	-1.7%	+4.3%	+0.8%	-1%	+2.4%	+9.6%	-11.7%	+20.4%

“Our Honda and Acura dealers delivered a strong January and have put us on course for a fast start in 2019, despite extreme weather conditions throughout much of the country during the last week of the month,“ said Henio Arcangeli Jr., senior vice president of the American Honda Automobile Division. “While solid sales of our light-truck offerings continue, our balanced results across other segments of our business further showcase real consumer demand beyond trucks and SUVs.”

Honda	BRAND REPORT
Sales Highlights		Model Notes
Continuing sales momentum from late 2018 led the Honda brand to a new January truck sales record—a strong start for 2019 despite severe winter weather that suppressed car shopping in the last week of January. CR-V was the biggest gainer, and Accord had a strong month as well. Fresh from an all-time sales record month in December, CR-V gained a robust 19.8% on sales of 29,152. Accord finished January up 6.3% continuing momentum that saw it lead the mid-size segment in retail sales over the entire second half of 2018. Civic topped 21,000 units in sales to continue its dominant performance, as America’s best retail-selling sedan in 2018 begins its quest to lead the compact segment in retail sales for a 10^th straight year.		Production of the new Insight in Indiana and Accord Hybrid in Ohio helped the Honda brand to all-time record production and sales of electrified vehicles in 2018.
		Civic finished 2018 as America’s top retail-selling car and is the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. millennial, multicultural and first-time new vehicle buyers.

Acura	BRAND REPORT
Sales Highlights		Model Notes
Acura brand sales withstood the polar vortex in late January to post a 9.6% gain for the month, with RDX leading the brand with a 41% increase. RDX continued its record sales march unabated, setting a new January benchmark with 4,172 vehicles sold for a gain of 40.9%. It was the 8^th straight record sales month for RDX. Acura light trucks just missed an all-time January record on sales of more than 7,100 units. ILX sales were up 22.7%, just ahead of the start of the marketing campaign for Acura’s redesigned gateway model, refreshed for 2019.		Acura was the only top-5 luxury brand with positive retail gains in 2018 and carries this momentum into 2019 thanks to a strong month from RDX and ILX.
		The Acura brand was born in the U.S. and with 5 out of Acura’s 6 models built in Ohio, about 99% of all Acura sales are made in America.

HOUSTON, Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Tajín International Corporation renewed its partnership with MasterChef winner Claudia Sandoval who will continue to serve as the brand’s official chef and recipe creator in the United States. Chef Claudia will produce a series of recipes featuring the leading seasoning brand. Chef Sandoval’s original new recipes are available exclusively on Tajín.com.

To kick off the 2019 collaboration, Sandoval created a video series featuring unique recipes including her new Bean Layer Dip and Strawberry Honey Hearts – just in time for the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day, respectively.

“Tajín is proud to continue its partnership with Chef Claudia for a third consecutive year,” said Javier Leyva, Tajín International Corp Director for the U.S. “Chef Claudia brings Tajín to life with her creativity and captivating personality. We can’t wait to show our consumers the delicious, easy-to-make and healthy recipes she’s created exclusively for Tajín.”

A San Diego native, Sandoval is known for her modern cooking style, which consists of integrating techniques from other cultures while using authentic Mexican ingredients. Her 2019 original recipes go from traditional Mexican snacks, meals and entrées to desserts and drinks for every season or occasion.

“I’m thrilled to continue working with Tajín,” said Sandoval. “I have been preparing recipes with Tajín for years; I love its versatility. Its unique blend of mild chili peppers, sea salt and lime creates a nice balance of flavors and can be used in different dishes from fruits and vegetables, to fish and poultry to even desserts. This year, I’m hoping my quick and easy recipes will encourage friends and families around the country to host more get-togethers and enjoy each other’s company while noshing on some of my favorite dishes.”

Winner of the cooking reality show, MasterChef Season 6 in 2015, Sandoval began working with Tajín on various projects soon after she earned the title with a Tajín-infused recipe. As part of her partnership with Tajín she will continue to represent the brand on media appearances and events across the United States.
