Mariachi is heralded as the greatest exponent of traditional Mexican culture.
Originating in 1897 in Tecalitlán, Jalisco, México, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán is indisputably the most influential Mariachi group in history. In celebration of their monumental 125th-anniversary year, the world’s best Mariachi band set off on a world tour to present their multi-generational repertoire of music to audiences across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Vancouver was included on the list of cities for a one-night-only performance at Queen Elizabeth Theatre on July 22, 2022.
Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán reached out to Glacier Media Digital (GMD) / Vancouver Is Awesome (VIA) to help them promote their live event. Their main objectives were:
- To promote ticket sales for their concert
- To raise awareness in Vancouver of the Mariachi band and its rich history
- To reach people in Vancouver with an interest in concerts and music events, as well as those who appreciate Mexican music and culture.
To achieve these objectives, GMD determined that the most effective way to hit these targets was to produce a sponsored article campaign on VIA about Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán and their upcoming concert.
