91Èȱ¬ launches major advertising push in Spanish
91Èȱ¬ Mundo: Your World, Your News – an interactive online campaign
Ìý
The 91Èȱ¬, the world's largest international multimedia broadcaster, launches a new interactive advertising campaign to promote its Spanish language online site bbcmundo.com in Latin American and US Hispanic markets.
Ìý
The countries included in the campaign are Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, the USA, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Ìý
91Èȱ¬ Mundo: Your World, Your News promotes the Spanish language site bbcmundo.com to millions of news seekers through key news sites, portals and messenger services.
Ìý
Initially appearing on MSN Instant Messenger, the online campaign will expand across a wide range of popular news and information including Yahoo!, New York Times and Hotmail in October.
Ìý
Creatively designed and delivered by the London-based digital marketing specialist, Agency Republic, the campaign runs for three months.
Ìý
It aims to reinforce awareness of bbcmundo.com amongst Spanish-speaking news seekers and position bbcmundo.com as a contemporary news and information provider in Spanish.
Ìý
The campaign promotes the site as a daily source for up-to-date headlines around the world and is targeting people with a modern outlook who use the internet as part of their daily lives and are unlikely to have had any previous experience of bbcmundo.com.
Ìý
Julia Zapata, Head of the 91Èȱ¬'s Spanish American Service, described the campaign as an exciting opportunity: "bbcmundo.com already attracts over two million unique users a month and around 15 million page impressions, but we know from research and personal experience that there is an opportunity to attract new audiences.
Ìý
"Online is playing an increasingly important role in people's lives. They want to feel connected to the wider world, keep in touch and even comment on events which shape their lives and perhaps follow the news in countries they have an emotional attachment to but don't live in.
Ìý
"bbcmundo.com delivers this service and more, and through 91Èȱ¬ Mundo: Your World, Your News we expect to introduce millions to our lively online offer."
