This Hispanic Crest Commercial Pokes Fun at Profession-Based Promos

This hilarious Hispanic Crest commercial by ad agency Conill reaches out to the Latino demographic, one the brand had trouble connecting with in an authentic way.
Part of a larger series, the Hispanic campaign from Procter & Gamble's Crest brand features a variety of professionals recommending the product who are not exactly dentists. While this one features a butcher, other characters in the playful series include a painter. The Crest commercial is considerably meta, based on its ironic references to the nature of industry-based referrals for products. The clever series is one of many for Procter & Gamble brands by Conill.
