Co-showrunner Carol Mendelsohn is leaving CSI after 14 years; fellow co-showrunner Don McGill will take over for season 15 of the CBS procedural.

Corona Extra will use the same creative for its Hispanic and general consumer spots, reports Adweek. "This is the first time that we’ve used the same program for the general market, total market, both multicultural and Hispanic consumers," said Jim Sabia, chief marketing officer for Constellation Brands’ beer division. Two ads will run this summer, one in English and one in Spanish.
How does that strategy sync with the data shared by experts on Cynopsis’s "How to Reach Young Hispanics" webinar panel Tuesday? "If consumers perceive that your content is Hispanic, that you’re waving the Hispanic flag, they’ll feel pigeonholed and often flee to other brands that have wider appeal," said Joel Kliksberg, VP and chief strategy officer at Fusion, who advised "winking" at the demo instead. (Information on purchasing the entire presentation is here.)

Digital advertising keeps growing, according to a new report from eMarketer, but despite an increase of almost 42 percent this year, it won’t pass growth in TV spending in 2014. eMarketer projects TV will add $2.19 million versus last year, while digital will get a $1.76 million bump. "Time spent with digital video is growing significantly, and it’s taking away some TV time," said David Hallerman, principal analyst at eMarketer, "but given the diversity of placements and platforms, digital video viewers are more difficult for advertisers to target."
