http://www.hispanictips.com/2008/09/05/mun2-drives-young-latinos-to-vote-in-the-2008-presidential-election/ "mun2, the preeminent voice for bicultural Latinos in America, announced today online and on-air components for its multi-platform voter registration campaign, "VOTE 4 UR Future." Focused on empowering its Latino audience, aged 18-34, to register, and go out to vote in the upcoming presidential elections, the network's dual screen initiatives drive viewers to holamun2.com/vote for easy online registration tools, election-related stories and original content. The media-driven efforts are part of parent network Telemundo's national non-partisan Hispanic voter registration campaign, "Vota Por Tu Futuro."

"Through this joint company-wide effort, Telemundo and mun2 are able to provide our audiences with the information and resources they need to become a vital part of the political process," said Jacqueline Hernández, Chief Operating Officer, Telemundo Networks. "By featuring celebrity voices and informative content, we hope to continue to empower and mobilize this important demographic to the voting polls during these upcoming presidential elections."

A Census Bureau report released earlier this year shows that 5.6 million Latinos voted in the 2006 general election, an increase of 18 percent over 2002. This number is projected to grow by one million for the November elections. Of the 18.2 million eligible Latino voters, 50 percent are under the age of 40, comprising approximately 7 million Latino voters aged 18-29. Targeting 18-34 year-old Latinos in the US, mun2 recognizes its crucial role in promoting youth political engagement in the upcoming elections and is taking action through the company-wide initiative.

"Being a leading network in the bilingual space, we are aware of the significant impact young Latinos have in the upcoming presidential elections," added Alex Pels, General Manager of mun2. "Through our thoughtful, youth-driven electoral coverage, and our innovative PSA's, we hope to empower this demographic, mobilize them to register to vote, and help make their voices heard by voting."

In support of the campaign, mun2 and Telemundo have partnered with political advocacy organizations Rock the Vote, US Hispanic Leadership Institute (USHLI), and League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).

The network will run a series of PSAs which will feature top Latino celebrities that resonate with its audience including Jessica Alba, Daddy Yankee, Paul Rodriguez Jr and Dania Ramirez. mun2 Creative Director of On Air Promos and acclaimed filmmaker Ricardo de Montreuil joins the voter collaborative effort by directing the call-to-action spots. The spots, which encourage viewers to vote, begin airing September 5th.

On Saturday September 20th at 6pm ET/PT, mun2 will debut the one-hour election news special "VOTE 4 UR Future 2008" where mun2 hosts Yarel Ramos and Renato Lopez bring thoughtful coverage of the current, pressing issues relevant to Latinos including immigration, education, the war, and the environment. "VOTE 4 UR Future 2008" which will also feature on-site coverage from the Democratic and Republican conventions, will direct viewers to holamun2.com/vote for access to voter registration.

Mun2's award-winning website holamun2.com brings a series of innovative vignettes that reflect the lifestyle and attitude of Latinos. Acting as a voter outreach resource and offering a blend of humorous and edgy content, the vignettes address the feeling of powerlessness and the need for today's growing Latino demographic to play a decisive and proactive role in the electoral process. holamun2.com/vote also provides a forum for visitors to discuss the voter registration campaign and share opinions and information regarding various election-oriented topics. The vignettes will be available for viewing on holamun2.com/vote starting September 8th.

The network will also incorporate calls to action and in-show voter registration mentions throughout its on-air programming.

Rapid Rollout
Univision started its rollout of MediaOcean in its national sales office in Atlanta in September 2007, with national sales offices in Dallas, New York, Chicago, Detroit and San Antonio migrating within four months. The remaining Univision offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami were up and running on MediaOcean by February 2008.
Univision is the latest company to join DDS MediaOcean's growing list of clients, which includes ABC, CBS, Fox Sports Network (NAP), Fox Station Sales, Gannett, Katz Media, Meredith, NBC, PMC, Post-Newsweek and Telemundo.
Improves Relationship with Buyers
"Having at least one of our Spanish-language media vendors on MediaOcean has enabled us to streamline our business. It gives us better quality control in terms of placing, revising and/or canceling buys with Univision/Telefutura stations," says Sherri Franklin, director, SpotPlus y Mas, the Hispanic division at SpotPlus.
Eliminates Discrepancies and Reduces Costs
MediaOcean integrates with DDS media-buying systems, the most widely used in the industry. The all-electronic workflow makes it easier for buyers to purchase spots on local stations and for buyers and sellers to process and track orders, revisions and makegoods. It benefits all trading partners by eliminating discrepancies and saving time on tedious, labor-intensive tasks such as manually re-keying faxed orders and revisions, thereby reducing transaction costs.
Powerful Protocol
With its migration to MediaOcean, Univision is adopting DARE, the only eBusiness system that achieves roundtrip communication between spot television buyers and sellers for every business transaction. DARE is the choice of leading agencies. Univision is the first Spanish-language broadcaster to take advantage of DARE's efficient electronic communication between trading partners.
MediaOcean is the most advanced implementation of the DARE standard. It provides a full audit of every transaction and allows salespeople to easily manage orders and offers as they flow between systems.
