Mission Statement:

MECENAS shapes culture to uplift the Hispanic spirit.

The line above is what sets us apart from the pack and in turn it is our UVP.
Raising the Hispanic bar into everything we create be it a story and/or an onsite activation it’s first and foremost an opportunity to uplift the Latino community and in turn create a way in for reputable brands to sit at the Hispanic table, authentically.

Unique Point of Difference:

The sum of the parts is what makes us unique: MECENAS-COCINA has an amazing array of business units and products (Content creation expertise, Owned studios able to create both short form and long form content, access to talent and media distribution) plus Multicultural-centric brands like COCINA (gold standard for LAtin food and Lifestyle) and Starpicks (your hero’s personal video playlist) powered by advertising and innovative content.
While many companies focus on Hispanics, not all of them are minority-owned or digital first. Content focus and expertise also varies across all competitors as well as owning and controlling a Direct-to-consumer brand.

Measurement:

Yes. We are platform-agnostic and have worked with most measurement companies in past campaigns. We can take any pixel and report back, as well as run pre, mid and post campaign surveys to determine metrics relevant to the campaign (upper and lower funnel). Ingestion: We can ingest most 3rd party trackers for live campaigns and will pass along the performance metrics to the third-party (Nielsen, Oracle, etc). As long as the trackers are sent in the wrapper, we can traffic any unit...our tech stack is built for video ad serving solutions (ctv, olv, mobile, etc) + display. Reporting: Any post-campaign reporting will depend on turnaround time for each vendor Monitoring / Blocking: Most of these trackers can be used for monitoring. In case there's a need to use the applicable tag for blocking, we can address on a per-campaign basis.
