“Mambo the Vote!” Rewards Voter Participation - Mercury Mambo Agency Promotes Voter Turn-Out

Oct. 24, 2008 - PRLog -- AUSTIN, TEXAS – Mercury Mambo, an Austin-based experiential marketing, sales promotion, and branding agency that delivers targeted marketing strategies for some of the most recognized brands on the planet, introduced today their “Mambo the Vote!” campaign.

“Mambo the Vote!” is Mercury Mambo’s way of encouraging everyone to stand up and be counted by voting in this year’s presidential election.  The campaign is being run on their blog, “Cup o’ Mambo,” and includes an opportunity to win very cool prizes, such as an Epiphone Les Paul Guitar, a Dell DJ MP3 player, or a roundtrip ticket on Southwest Airlines.  

This Mambo-style voting rally began on a flight from NYC to Austin in which Mercury Mambo Partner Liz Arreaga made a bet with another passenger on the flight to see who could persuade more people to get out there and cast their ballot.

“We live in a country that allows its citizens to choose their leaders,” commented Arreaga.    “Why not encourage people to take advantage of this right with a little bit of fun and healthy competition.  Not to mention that I hate to lose a bet.”

The rules for the “Mambo the Vote!” competition are easy.  Take a picture of yourself with your “I Voted” sticker on, submit your picture and voting story at http://www.mercurymambo.com/blog/2008/10/¡mambo-the-vote/, and then get your friends to do the exact same thing.  The competition is running now through November 7, 2008, so what are you waiting for - get out there and …    

… Mambo the Vote!
