Before the event, Creative Director Melissa Thorne knew there were 20 different mustangs that attendees could choose from for the Fan Favorite Award. The Mustang Heritage Foundation utilized audience cell phones, which have more than an 85% penetration rate in the US, to facilitate the process. Using Trumpia’s mobile keyword technology, fans could vote for their favorite mustang by texting the keyword assigned to their favorite and the results could be tallied in real time. During a live event it is nearly impossible to physically get all attendees in front of a computer or at a booth to put in their vote. Shortly after all wild horses had performed, Thorne’s coordinators promoted Trumpia’s mobile keywords through microphone announcements, a large banner, and several signs held up around the crowd. Each mustang had a contestant number attached to its saddle near the hip so the audience could send in their choice through this method.
