M&M’S® Red Wins in Vote M&M’S® 2016 Campaign

The people have spoken! After a month of exciting campaigning and competition, the votes have been tabulated and I am proud to announce that M&M’S® Red has won the Vote M&M’S® 2016 campaign!

Based on M&M'S® Philippines' official tally as of May 20, the Red character garnered a total of 10,243 posts or 47% of the total votes and gets the award as the top choice of M&M'S® fans. This "candydate" is personified by a tough and brave chief who believes in the importance of rules and being on time. This leader is also quick on his feet and can easily adapt to stressful situations.

Placing second is the Green character that got 6,972 or 32% of the total votes. Leaders that go under this category are those who are charismatic, inspirational, and set a good example for their team.

Meanwhile, coming in at third place is Yellow character that received 4,547 social media posts or 21% of the total votes. Yellow represents friendly individuals who prefer a casual, down-to-earth, and service-oriented style of leadership.

The Vote M&M’S® 2016 campaign generated 21,762 valid entries among more than 30,000 responses across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

But the M&M’S® candy-dates aren’t the only winners as twenty voters also won PHP 5,000 and 50 winners won M&M’S® merchandise.

“We’re very happy with the vote participation for the Vote M&M’S® 2016 campaign and we’d like to thank everyone for supporting Red, Yellow and Green as they went around Metro Manila rallying for your votes,” said Henry Azcarraga, Mars Chocolate, Southeast Asia Country Director. “This campaign was not only a lot of fun, which is what M&M’S® is all about, but it was also very timely and a great way for more people to meet and interact with the much loved M&M’S® Characters.”

The Vote M&M’S® 2016 campaign brought our beloved M&M’S® characters brave Red, optimistic Yellow and the smart and confident Green - to the Philippines as they injected their own brand of spontaneous fun to the elections. Pinoys were invited to get to know the M&M’S® characters and vote for their favorite for a chance to win exciting prizes.
