The San Jose Group Wins The Communicator Awards Honors

Agency Wins 2001 Audio Competition

CHICAGO (November 27, 2001) The San Jose Group recently won an Award of Excellence in The Communicator Awards competition for its radio campaign for Herdez. The campaign, consisting of three radio commercials, focuses on Herdez’s salsas, sauces and moles. Herdez is a division of Hormel Foods.

The commercials each reflect everyday situations in humorous and culturally relevant ways. One portrays a man at confession speaking of his love of the women who prepare Herdez Mole for him, another depicts a mother advising her daughter on her wedding day to which the daughter claims to know all she needs to about Herdez Salsa, and the third is about two lovers who both love Herdez Bufalo sauce. The “Lovers” ad can be heard (with English translation) at www.thesanjosegroup.com. (Go to Advertising Division Section; Creative Gallery; Radio; Hormel.)
