FEEDING A COMMUNITY’S HUNGER FOR NORMALCY.

After a five-year hiatus, the Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC) made plans to bring the Taco Tour back to Lake Street in the fall of 2022. The crowd-pleasing event celebrates the culinary flavor of Latino culture with fun, family, and feasting, featuring hungry taco lovers who take part in a self-guided walking tour of the best Lake Street taquerías and sample a wide variety of tasty, tempting tacos.

Planners for the Taco Tour needed a fresh new take and thinking to drive attendance for the event’s 2022 comeback effort. The pandemic and civil unrest hit the Lake Street area doubly hard, with neighborhoods still rebuilding and recovering. But sponsors and people in the proud and resilient Latino community were ready to join the celebration, show their support, and enjoy some tacos together.

In the spirit of rebirth and renewal, we created a bright and festive campaign around the actively inspiring theme, Building Neighborhoods One Taco at a Time, to invite people to join in and celebrate Lake Street’s return to greatness. Promotional efforts fed the massive appetite for more forward-looking positivity, community pride, and tastebud-wowing tacos. The agency creative team developed compelling marketing assets, including Taco Tour-branded logos, event signage, and online content—carefully crafted with design elements to represent Latino cultural vibrancy, joy, and diversity. The team also created a fast-paced, high-energy commercial to connect with taco cravers and boost excitement for the must-attend event.
