May the 5th 2010 saw the first nationwide Chilango promotion. With the help of Corona, we dressed the restaurants for the occasion.
Cinco de Mayo dates back to 1862 when the French Army invaded Mexico. The French army was larger and more equipped but Mexico managed to defeat them. The day was significant for two reasons – one because of the unlikely defeat and two, because since then no country in the Americas has been invaded by a country from any other continent. The Mexican men who fought at the Battle of Puebla defied the odds, and Cinco de Mayo celebrates their bravery and determination.
We joined up with Corona to offer customers who bought a Corona with their meal a prize and there was also a chance to enter the Chilango competition to win a hamper filled with lots of awesome Chilango goodies. The managers and staff used their creativity to decorate the restaurants – check out the awesome pics.
