Rock The Vote, AT&T and FunMobility Team To Mobilize the Youth Vote

Tools

Posted August 13, 2008

Rock The Vote, AT&T and FunMobility today announced the launch of downloadable mobile content to help encourage young people to leverage their voting power in the political process. Rock The Vote's mobile campaign in partnership with AT&T, brings together popular music, artists and mobile technologies to engage today's youth with the political process.

FunMobility has created a robust catalog of made-for-mobile downloadable wallpaper, branded with the Rock The Vote logo, for mobile users to demonstrate their support in the upcoming election.

Exclusive Rock The Vote mobile election campaign content can be downloaded from the FunMobility's FunScreenz application, on your AT&T phone within AT&T MEdia Mall or at the following website - http://rockthevote.funmo.com. Creative new content will continue to be added to the storefront through the election on Nov. 4.

"The mobile phone is the portal to young people's entire lives" said Tim McGhee, Director of AT&T sponsorships, "It's not just how they communicate and entertain, it's also a powerful tool for how they learn and become engaged with the world around them."

"We know mobile content, whether it's wallpaper from a historical Rock The Vote campaign or a ringtone from a supporting artist, encourages today's youth to engage in the political process and show their support for the upcoming election. Mobile content becomes a way of expressing yourself wherever you go," says Todd Slagle, Director of Promotions for FunMobility. "Because we are supporters of the cause, FunMobility is donating 50 % of net revenue to support Rock The Vote."

FunMobility's direct-to-consumer website, FunMo.com, will power the Rock The Vote mobile storefront. FunMo.com enables users to create graphics and animations to personalize their phones, connect with others within the mobile community, share mobile photos, and browse thousands of original wallpapers and ringtones.
