The problem

Vicky Bakery was launching Platicos, a new menu line built around traditional Cuban-style meals with jasmine rice, black beans, proteins, sweet plantains, and signature sauces.

The challenge was not just announcing a new product. It was making sure the launch cut through a crowded Miami food scene while earning a place next to some of the brand’s most iconic staples.

THE BRAND HAD TO —
01
Make the launch stand out in a crowded local market
02
Position Platicos as part of the Vicky family, not a side experiment
03
Introduce something new without disrupting the brand’s cultural credibility
02 · THE INSIGHT

New products work faster when they feel like they were always meant to belong.

For generations, Vicky has been part of South Florida’s cultural fabric. Customers grew up on cafecitos, croquetas, and pastelitos. That meant Platicos could not be framed like a trend-driven menu drop.

It had to feel like a natural extension of the brand’s heritage, giving customers something fresh while still honoring what made Vicky beloved in the first place.

The solution

We built a fully integrated launch campaign designed to make Platicos feel culturally relevant, emotionally familiar, and unmistakably Vicky.

01
Developed the Abuela Approved campaign as the creative platform for the launch
02
Produced a commercial built around humor, nostalgia, and family approval to give the product cultural weight
03
Rolled out a social media campaign that blended playfulness, pride, and Cuban identity to generate buzz
04
Used storytelling to frame Platicos as both authentic and new, not a departure from the brand but an evolution of it
05
Positioned the new menu line alongside Vicky’s signature staples so it felt fully integrated into the brand experience

Launch direction

Do not launch it like a product. Launch it like a family endorsement.

The rollout was designed to make Platicos feel emotionally validated before it was rationally explained. By centering the campaign on cultural recognition and family approval, the product entered the conversation with credibility built in.

01
Used Abuela as the symbolic seal of approval for authenticity and trust
02
Balanced humor and nostalgia so the campaign felt shareable without losing emotional truth
03
Made the launch feel like a continuation of Vicky’s story, not a break from it
05

The outcome

Platicos launched with the kind of attention and acceptance a new menu line rarely gets.

01
Broke through the noise and became a cultural talking point
02
Helped customers embrace Platicos as part of the Vicky experience, not a one-off item
03
Reinforced Vicky Bakery’s ability to stay fresh and relevant without sacrificing heritage
The strongest launches do not replace tradition. They earn their place inside it.
