CASE STUDY 2.2 LEXUS: CELEBRATING LATIN MUSIC AND CULTURE Section I. General information Walton Isaacson (WI), as the multicultural agency of record for Lexus, identified an opportunity to use music to connect with affluent Hispanic millennials and early Generation Xer singles or couples. Within this seg- ment, luxury brands are viewed as a reward for hard work and a represen- tation of their upwardly mobile social status. Music is a passion point in general and indie-alternative Latin music has specific resonance with this culturally attuned group of early adopters and cultural explorers.

In 2013, with a strong foundation already in place in key local markets throughout the US, Lexus focused on speaking to a national and highly digital audience of affluent Latinos. Recognizing that there was a lack of original programming catering to this audience, WI and Lexus examined possible paths to engagement. They identified music as a key opportunity to make that vital in-culture connection with bilingual, bicultural consumers, all of whom speak the language of music.
