Tue, June 22, 2010 Quepasa Wins DSM Contract for High-Profile Legislative Campaign in Mexico
WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - June 22, 2010) - Quepasa Corporation (
The legislative campaign, set to launch this August, will utilize DSM to generate grassroots support for the proposed law. The DSM will not only educate visitors on the legislation, but also give them the opportunity to cast a virtual "vote" for it and post it to their various social profiles in order to engage others. While additional details of the legislation have not yet been announced, Quepasa has indicated that the law's focus on young Mexicans has made social media a natural choice for the campaign's online home.
"Quepasa DSM will allow us engage those who will benefit directly from this legislation," said a spokesperson for a political sponsor of the law. "We look forward to not only reaching our audience, but also opening a dialogue with them and, in turn, generating meaningful support for this initiative."
"Social media has demonstrated tremendous potential as a forum for political dialogue and advancement," said John Abbott, CEO of Quepasa. "We are excited about this opportunity because it allows us to participate in this important trend as we continue to build out our DSM business."
