Dave Campbell’s Appreciation Award by ¡Yo Quiero!
The Team Mom Appreciation Award, presented by ¡Yo Quiero! during the 2023 Texas high school football season, honored the essential contributions of eleven remarkable team moms. These often-unrecognized individuals play a crucial role in supporting student-athletes, coaches, and the community by ensuring team events run smoothly and promoting a sense of teamwork. The award aimed to highlight their selfless commitment while aligning with ¡Yo Quiero!’s focus on community involvement and support for local sports. The campaign tackled two primary issues: acknowledging the important yet frequently unnoticed work of team moms and increasing ¡Yo Quiero!’s brand visibility in the community. Through strategic partnerships, such as with Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, and a comprehensive marketing strategy, the initiative spotlighted the contributions of the moms while enhancing ¡Yo Quiero!’s presence. Key activities included online voting, social media initiatives, podcast interviews, and print advertising, reaching millions and engaging the community, resulting in over 70,000 votes and more than 2.3 million online impressions. The outcomes surpassed expectations, demonstrating significant engagement on social media, high podcast download rates, and extensive print coverage, thereby increasing ¡Yo Quiero!’s brand awareness. Beyond the immediate results, the campaign reinforced lasting community partnerships and established ¡Yo Quiero! as a respected local brand linked to family, teamwork, and support. By honoring team moms and implementing meaningful marketing strategies, the initiative created a lasting impact of appreciation and strengthened community connections.
