Del Real Foods Presents 'Abuela Intelligence'
In a refreshing move that resonates with tradition and authenticity, Del Real Foods, renowned for its genuine Hispanic fresh foods, has unveiled its very first brand campaign named "Abuela Intelligence." Launching just in time for Cinco de Mayo, the campaign seeks to challenge the rising trend of artificial intelligence and processed foods by placing the spotlight on the invaluable wisdom of grandmothers, or abuelas, who have been the heart of family kitchens for generations.
A Heartfelt Tribute to Grandmothers
The campaign's premise revolves around the concept that true culinary knowledge and love come from familial ties rather than algorithms. In a nostalgic twist, the debut video features a faux-call center reminiscent of the 1990s, staffed entirely by abuelas wearing headsets. These wise women tackle quirky questions like, “Why won't my son get married?” and provide practical cooking advice, mixing humor with heartfelt insights. The idea is clear: when it comes to preparing food that nourishes both body and soul, grandmothers know best.
According to Daniela Simpson, Chief Marketing Officer of Del Real Foods, "Abuela Intelligence is our playful, heartfelt way of honoring the real source behind our recipes - generations of grandmothers whose love and tradition are built into every bite. While the world leans on technology, we're leaning on something that's been here all along – abuela wisdom. Real meals. Real advice. Real love. That’s what Del Real Foods is all about."
Campaign Rollout and Highlights
The integrated campaign features a multi-platform rollout, including television commercials on connected TV channels throughout major Californian cities such as Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. Online video content will also be available across various social media platforms and on the brand's website.
Beyond digital engagement, an engaging feature of the campaign is the "Abuela Road Trip." This mobile sampling experience will travel to selected retail stores in areas such as Los Angeles and Phoenix. Consumers will have the opportunity to taste signature products such as Del Real Foods' delectable Carnitas and Birria Cheese Pupusas while learning about authentic recipes rooted in Mexican heritage.
Exclusive Promotions
To further celebrate the launch, Del Real Foods invites fans to enjoy a $2 off coupon redeemable via their website, dubbed "Abuela's Treat," at participating retailers. The campaign is anticipated to run well beyond the festive Cinco de Mayo period, culminating in a nationwide contest to identify the “Ultimate Abuela” later this summer.
