Mercedes Benz #MBTweetrace with Michele Price @prosperitygal

Posted by michele on December 20, 2010 · View Comments 

Mercedes Benz has created a promotion called #MBTweetrace which is a cross between the  movie Cannon Ball with and Amazing Race.

Mercedes is looking for drivers who have online Cred!  You know folks that listen, engage with and pass on their tweets, blogs, radio show and videos. “Online Cred”.

Immediately when I saw their Facebook Fan Page for the Race I knew who I wanted as my driving partner and we have not even met face to face yet. See below for details.

HOW did I know that you say? Simple I know when a company wants to generate buzz, excitement and engagement they need a team who is active , respected and listened to in the online community.

Let’s look at what that would look like for Mercedes if I become part of the racing team (yup, I am putting it out there why they want me , it is called smart moves)

Michele Price

aka @prosperitygal   followers 28,710  lists 822 engagement via twitter HIGH!

2 radio shows Breakthrough Business Strategies and Women In Business radio:

Breakthrough Business Radio started it’s 3rd year this November we have high profile guests weekly from Gary Vaynerchuk to Jim Kukral, Scott Stratten, Frank Eliason, Bob Burg, Josh Kaufman, Jim Sterne, Scott Belesky…

We talk to Entrepreneurs & Service Based professionals (the kind of folks who buy and drive Mercedes)

Women In Business Radio was birthed Labor day this year and we spotlight Local women owned business to a global audience. (another great buying force for Mercedes)

I co-host Social Media Manners twitter chat and have moderated the most popular segments like Woody & Buzz Light Year & Social Media Manners

I am unveiling a new Chat Jan 2011 that will rival #blogchat sky rocking the community.  Oh, and profs to my friend Mack Collier did you see his post on Blogchat (See a familiar name in the leaderboard?)

Blogchat stats by Mack Collier

Having started a small movement on twitter “You’ve Been Validated” after being inspired form “Validated” video, teaching everyone power of giving validation in a quick video to those who might now know the powerful effect they had on your life.

Bringing together  conversations like:

What Does Woody & Buzz Know About Social Media Manners

#SMManners chat on Toy Story 3 & Social Media Manners

Bringing folks to new book in one day

If I had known ONE thing

Community that shows up for radio show

Blog entrance to radio show

Listeners came from tweets after started & during show

Now, the question is is this the type of engagement Mercedes Benz wants for their twitter race?

What else should I  show Mercedes?

@josepf

Oh, here is my driving partner Josepf Haslam an Philly Eagles fan (right, been told he wants to know if we have an eject button for our partners during drive chuckle)

    Mercedes should definitely choose you and Josepf- I can think of no one better to represent them and their brand.

    This drive is shaping up to be epic with you two on the wheel. And no eject buttons please, we need you both back alive and good.

    #philly boy in the house. I’ve given up on the Eject button because of a call from OSHA. Certain that the sound system in the Benz will help with part of the problem. I can tune into 610 WIP and listen to Angelo Cataldi and take his advice on how to handle Texas trash talk. :-) http://www.angelocataldi.com/contacts.html

    You are so funny. IN Texas we do not have Trash Talk it’s just Facts ;) ) Whether it is Roula & Ryan at 104. KRBE or Scott Key, we deal with the truth and “You can’t stand the truth” (in her best Jack Nickleson).

    Now reve those engines and let’s get this darn race started..vvrroooom vvvrrooooom!!

    AAAHHH I won’t kill him just BBQ him good with a lot of good ole’ Texas sauce on his rump chuckle.

  • http://womeninbusinessradio.com Michele Price

    Jill we appreciate your confidence and with two Aries at the wheel what else could we BE, snicker!

    I learn something new from @prosperitygal every day. She’s not only someone I follow, she’s someone I have in my “special list” to check on DAILY. She’s the Mercedes-Benz of Twitter – and I have nearly 12K followers myself – so you KNOW she’s the cream of the crop: she’s the go-to-girl for class and sophistication when it comes to social media and engagement.

    She’s one smooth driver.

    @josepf is a driving partner I’d ALWAYS want at my side. Engaging, intelligent, and responsive: everything you want in social media – and everything you expect in a Mercedes-Benz.

    I can’t wait to see you driving up to Canada to meet me in your Mercedes-Benz when you drop by to meet all the powerhouse women entrepreneurs in my town. @prosperitygal , Michele Price is always there to help and guide people on Twitter…if you have a question she will get it answered pronto. Lots of engagement from her list would really benefit Mercedes to have her on their team.

    You are right and if he talks too much about the philly eagles I have an eject button ready giggle

    Thanks, it is nice when recognized for the support you give to your community. Just like when other women rise up and succeed we all succeed when we can stand up and clap for their “wins”
