Property ManagementCentury 21 Expands Advertising, Recruiting to the Hispanic Community
Century 21 Real Estate Corporation’s Hispanic campaign will be expanded this year
to include an advertising focus on professional sports venues of significant appeal to the
Hispanic community.
In 1997, the CENTURY 21 System became the first real estate company to reach out to the Hispanic community with targeted advertising and marketing, and remains the only national real
estate brand targeting the Hispanic community through national radio, national television, as well as during various news programs.
"Brokers have utilized news articles about the initiative to recruit new sales associates
and have generated hundreds of leads through television advertising, radio
spots and printed materials targeting the Hispanic community," said Robert
Moles, president & CEO of Century 21 Real Estate Corporation. "The CENTURY
21 System intends to further boost its outreach efforts aimed toward the
Hispanic community through print media, as well as in print and electronic
advertising and collateral."
This year’s campaign includes a television spot targeting first-time home
buyers. The campaign tag line, "Una inversion para toda la vida,"
(translation: "An investment of a lifetime") addresses the value of home
ownership versus renting - a critical issue for Hispanic home buyers.
Development of the CENTURY 21 System’s 1998 Hispanic campaign was steered by
the System’s Hispanic Task Force, made up of brokers in strategic
marketplaces around the country. The initial campaign was produced
specifically for a Spanish-speaking audience and addressed the
home-ownership concerns of the Hispanic marketplace, the fastest growing
demographic in the United States.
