Business: Talent Republic

Client: Grupo Lala

Challenge:

Lala, Mexico’s largest dairy brand, was keen to work with a respected international actor to promote their patented lactose free ‘super’ milk range, Lala 100, ‘for the heroes of today.’

What Talent Republic delivered:

Within five weeks of being briefed, the campaign had been shot in Boston with US actor Chris Evans, best known for his role as Marvel character, Captain America.

Talent Republic cast, secured and managed all Talent related aspects from concept to completion, including handling all negotiations, drafting contractual agreements and advising and helping manage costs across every aspect from SAG, travel, accommodation, security, publicist and glam.

Through the line media usage covered TV, Cinema, Print, Out Of Home, Digital and Social.

The Results:

The campaign garnered more than one billion digital impressions, increased sales by 60% vs the monthly 2018 average and, within a month of the launch, saw an increase of over +1pp of market share.
