Congrats to Republica, a Miami agency founded in 2006, who’ve landed both the general market and Hispanic marketing duties for the Miami Dolphins and Sun Life Stadium.

After tapping celebrity South Florida investors and giving the stadium a colorful makeover, the Miami Dolphins and the Sun Life Stadium have added a new asset to the team and stadium’s strategy to get more local: a contract with República, a 3-year-old Miami communications company owned by Jorge Plasencia and Luis Casamayor.
“Miami is a unique market, and having local representation is very important,” said Adam Grossman, senior vice president of public affairs for the team and the stadium. “[The agency’s owners] Jorge and Luis, who are South Floridians, represent South Florida, and we couldn’t think of a better agency.”
Prior to República, the NFL team and stadium’s public relations and marketing agency was Boston-based Arnold Worldwide. Dolphins officials said that relationship lasted six months last year.
In every city, a major league team is a highly-prized account for an agency. It’s good to see an upstart shop get a shot.
