As artificial intelligence technology pops up everywhere, Del Real Foods launched its first-ever brand campaign, Abuela Intelligence, to push back with a focus on people-powered wisdom. This campaign from the creator of authentic Hispanic fresh foods spotlights a deep source of inspiration, as well as the heart of handcrafted meals made with real, whole ingredients.
Just ahead of Cinco de Mayo, the campaign shares a story set in a nostalgic call center, completely staffed by abuelas fielding questions like "What's the easiest way to make authentic tacos?"
"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," said Daniela Simpson, CMO of Del Real Foods. In this spirit, the campaign goes beyond social media and online video channels with the Abuela Road Trip mobile sampling experience at select retail stores.
