¡Mambo the Vote!

One of the pillars here at the Mambo is to make a positive and meaningful impact.

Therefore, instead of rockin’ the vote, we are going to MAMBO THE VOTE!

We’ve never tried this before, but we’re going to give everyone who votes an opportunity to win something cool! Here’s all that you need to do:

  1. Vote! Check out http://maps.google.com/vote to find your polling place!
  2. Submit a picture with you and your “I Voted” sticker using the form below or by emailing it to [email protected].
  3. Tell all your friends about the contest. You can use the ‘share this’ link at the end of the post. The more people that enter, the more folks going out to vote!

Here is what you can win (courtesy of yours truly, Mercury Mambo!):

Epiphone Les Paul Special II

Dell DJ MP3 Player

Want to Know Why We’re Having This Contest?

On a recent flight from NYC, agency partner Liz Arreaga met another woman that lives here in Austin and they got to talking about the election. Soon the talk turned to voting and what they personally could do to get people to show up at the polls. By the end of the flight, they had a bet going – the person who could get the most people to go out and vote, gets treated to dinner by the other.

Out of this, a contest was born.

Oh, and just so you know, we aren’t collecting email addresses, selling you anything, etc. Liz just hates to lose a bet.
