Marketing
Clara and Bruno are aimed at Spanish music professionals and the first Vocaloids aimed at Spanish culture. They do not incorporate the moe-esque style of some Japanese Vocaloids, their designs are aimed more towards a retrospective Western art style.

Competition
Clara and Bruno had a fanart competition. The contest was done in response to the disappointment in the artwork from anime fans. The winners were announced on the 19th of December. The winning piece became their new boxart.

Facebook
Clara and Bruno have an official Facebook page.

Popularity
Clara suffered backlash based on her illustration, mainly for lacking an anime-like design or referred to as not having the appearance of a Vocaloid, with some going so far as to label Clara and Bruno as "ugly". However, within the Spanish fandom there have been reports of strong defence from fans of the pair and Vocaloid. However the voice type itself has been said to be appealing in general, despite the issues some fans have had with the boxart. The reaction towards the initial artwork may have had a later impact on future Vocaloids, and was one of the theories put forward as the reason Yamaha rejected the original non-"anime-esque" design for Avanna.

By March 2012, Bruno and Clara were amongst the least popular of the Vocaloid 3 voicebanks; though together they are more popular then Tonio, neither surpassed his popularity when weighed in separately.
