TRIBE STRONG

We help brands GAIN ACCESS, and ACCEPTANCE with target audiences. We ground each campaign by inhaling the essence of the consumer's uniqueness and exhaling old ideologies that won’t serve the marketing mission.

 

We have deep time-honored bonds with a vast network of cultural authorities, influencers, celebrities, and media professionals in alignment with empowering and entertaining multicultural communities, and U.S. millennials. 


Our mission is to illuminate diverse talents and amplify voices representative of today's America.

Forever flavored



Over the past two decades we created space for multicultural interests in the general market arena, and helped top brands and media platforms gain access into the hearts of U.S. Hispanic and multicultural consumers.

URBAN | Latinx | African-American | LGBTQ

Through our work media brands like HBO, DAZN, Cinemax, Telemundo, and Music Choice grew their audience, and brands such as P&G, Jack Daniel's, Hennessy, Lexus, and Verizon gained access to pour their flavor into the distilleries of LATINX and Urban spaces.


**NOW IS THE TIME**


The Hispanic population is projected to increase by 115% by 2060, which will make up 29% of the U.S. population, according to a report by the U.S. Census Bureau. 


The U.S. Census projects that the non-Hispanic white population in America will constitute only 44% of the total population by 2060.

HBO

  

“HBO has worked with Janice Torres on over a dozen special projects, and as our strategic multicultural agency partner, The Brand Phoenix has been instrumental in the successful trajectory of the HBO Latino brand.”

DAZN

 In September 2018, the global sports streaming service DAZN successfully launched in the U.S. with the influence of Janice Torres’ cultural insights. 


Most notably, she introduced the programming team to boxing personalities, Ak & Barak, whose show is now the main feature of the network’s original programming. She also recruited several top combat sports experts to shape the product’s editorial direction, tone of voice and DAZN Group’s overall public perception. 


As Multicultural Publicity Manager she piloted successful media events, including DAZN's launch announcement, which was attended by 200 top industry leaders, media guests and influencers. She also facilitated its live streaming, which was viewed by thousands worldwide. 


While on board, Torres consistently secured media coverage in top-tier outlets, from the New York Times to Men’s Health and Telemundo, plus ignited support from key MMA and boxing press.


Torres was also tapped by the marketing and product teams to present Hispanic cultural insights and communicate DAZN’s tone of voice to its Charlotte-based customer service teams.


SHINE

  In 2017 and 2018 The Brand Phoenix steered publicity and branding strategy for SHINE, the indie Latin dance drama starring David Zayas (Dexter), helping it score a national theatrical release deal. Prior to the film ever releasing a trailer to consumers the firm garnered press coverage with Entertainment Tonight, Latina, Remezcla, New York Daily News, EFE, American Latino Television, Telemundo, Univision and a bevy of multicultural outlets. Cast collaborations with HBO, Jack Daniel’s, Teen Vogue, and World of Dance were also manifested by the firm.
