Recent DCM Kid Awards

Our team took home gold in the MUSE Awards for our video interview with Ozomatli’s Raul Pacheco. This one really hit us in the emotions because it was so personal to the team.

Watch the full video here.

Mexican-American professional vocalist and trumpeter, Adelaide Pilar, dives into an iconic cornerstone of Latino culture – the Pachuco Zoot Suit.
We created this short as part of a larger campaign around her new song, Free to Be Me. While some of the content takes a traditional, direct promo approach, we also sought to infuse storytelling, history, education, and cultural relevancy, while spotlighting Adelaide’s dynamic personality and passion points, as a nod to the song’s lyrics.

Watch her video on the pachuco suit, then give her new track a listen!

DCM Kid won the 2024 Summit Emerging Media Award for our involvemetn in the Adelaide Pilar “Free to Be Me” song release’s Hispanic heritage social media campaign. 

Here are some of our favorite reels from the campaign:
