Spectrum One - Aviso especial - TV

The original request was to produce a Hispanic DRTV commercial to run in a few test cities. The end result was the best performing Spectrum commercial, nationwide, in both the general and the Hispanic markets. Aviso Especial is also a key contributor to us receiving a 2023 Faxies Audience Engagement & Experience Honorable Mention for New Product Launch.Role: Creative Director & Senior Copywriter.

Spectrum One - En la tienda - TV

While it is a lower budget commercial, it was the perfect follow-up to Aviso Especial and it delivered a high CPC that helped maintain the popularity of Spectrum One. This spot features Clarissa Molina on her now established “Cuéntale a Clarissa” talk-show setting, also developed by my creative team. Produced by: TelevisaUnivision. Role: Creative Director & Senior Copywriter.

Spectrum TV & Internet - La prima - TV

This is the first time we show Clarissa in her “Cuéntale a Clarissa” mock talk-show set.

The audience responded so well that we’ve made four more commercials within this same talk-show setup. Role: Creative Director & Co-Writer.

Spectrum Internet & TV- Game Plan - TV

Spectrum Internet wanted to showcase that it was the number one choice for gamers, so they requested a competitive DRTV that would grab the attention of gamers out there. I proposed taking us into a VR game setting where we would even see our star, Gaby Espino, as an avatar. The result was a fun, out-of-the-box commercial that she excitedly pushed on her social media as well. Role: Senior Copywriter.

Spectrum Internet - Súper poderosa - TV

Clarissa Molina embodies young, empowered, Latinas in our country. This is why it was such a thrill for everyone involved in the production to see her embrace this concept. It is a mini sci-fi commercial that clearly delivered the message about Spectrum One being the number one choice for gamers in a fun and memorable way. Role: Senior Copywriter.

Spectrum Internet - Science Fair: Electricity - Online

The mission was to reach out to low-income families and motivate them to apply for a $30 credit on their Internet service through the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), and then subscribe to Spectrum Internet. The success of this campaign led to further promotion of Spectrum’s partnership with ACP and further commitment to assisting qualifying families. Role: Creative Director and Senior Copywriter.

Spectrum TV - Primo - TV

The mission was simple, we needed a low-budget graphic, competitive spot that would clearly deliver the message that when you switch to Spectrum TV you save money. This commercial was such a hit, it was trafficked again, one year later. Role: Original graphic concept (one-line sketch).

AT&T - Reacción: El Señor de los Cielos - TV

Telemundo partnered up with AT&T to create this interactive segment where fans of El Señor de los Cielos could participate on plot-related surveys during commercial breaks.

The fans loved it and were very engaged. Role: Senior Copywriter.

AT&T - Reacción: El Señor de los Cielos - Social Media

As part of AT&T’s partnership with Telemundo and El Señor de los Cielos, we developed weekly recaps that incorporated social media comments from the fans as well as insider commentary from Carmen Villalobos or her former, now diseased character, Leonor Ballesteros. This was a fun and popular element of the AT&T campaign. Role: Senior Copywriter.

Verizon - LatinX Now: Latin American Music Awards - TV
