Even in Cuba the power of a brand shines strong

The changes in Cuba’s economy and loosening power of the socialist regime has led to the rise of a new class not before existing in Cuba – entrepreneurs. A group of people who finally freed from government work can go out and create their own businesses and place in the Cuban economy.

One such business is La Pachanga, an upscale burger bar which understands the market and by all accounts is building a very successful business by understanding the power of the brand and delivering positive brand experience at every touchpoint.


While capitalism is still a dirty word in Cuba, there are a small growing middle class in Cuba who are using their former government employment to build their own successful businesses. Sergio, owner of La Pachanga burger bar is definitely on a winner. 

The strong brand and logo are cited as, “the most important thing we’ve done to date, it’s the only way clients get know the brand.

“In Cuba, nothing like this has ever existed before.”

Everywhere in this burger bar the brand stands strong and proud, every opportunity is taken to highlight the brand to customers to build brand loyalty. Sergio knows the importance of brand in every way, opening up a VIP air-conditioned section in what was previously his master bedroom, only allowing access to local celebrities.

The main restaurant is no drag either. Bright coloured tables and service staff all feature the La Pachanga brand, with owner Sergio stating that the brand is “like Superman, but it’s Super Pachanga, you eat the Pachanga burger and you become stronger.”

The power of a brand, regardless of economy or industry sector can never be overlooked. Icon Visual Marketing are experts in building brands and marketing programs to promote brand loyalty. Contact us today to discuss your branding needs

Media is complex. Much more than it used to be. Since the dawn of the internet and rise of social media, the number of media options has exploded. For a marketing manager, they are like pieces of a puzzle, interconnecting and working together. So, how does a marketing manager make the pieces form a nice, big, beautiful picture, to successfully stand out not only amongst the competition but above the vast array of media noise? American digital marketing expert, Gini Dietrich, identified four types of media: Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned. She called it the PESO model . Here we look at the four types of media. We describe and analyse each one and discuss how they all fit together.

When we launched in 2003, the trend in agencies was to provide a specialist service, like creative or media buying. But we saw the opportunity to offer full-service marketing to our clients, taking the pain away from managing multiple agencies with multiple processes. We’ve chosen to continue to base ourselves in the Macarthur region, moving to Campbelltown in our current office nearly six years ago.  This has enabled us to build strong working relationships with many companies in our region including property developers, builders, manufacturers, local Councils, venues, and many more. We’ve also worked with loads of companies outside the region which is becoming so much easier with the aid of technology. We’re not just suppliers, but genuine business partners. I’d like to thank the many clients I’ve worked alongside in the past 20 years and look forward to continuing many of those relationships.
