Manny Perez, most recently known for his role opposite Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony in El Cantante and who is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable Latino Actors in Hollywood will be present for the festival.

Another exciting guest this year is the talented and beautiful model-turned-actor Kate Nauta.  Kate is best known for her role as the bloodthirsty, lingerie clad vixen 'Lola' in the movie Transporter 2 where she had two of her songs featured on the soundtrack. Now, focusing her time and energy on her music, we are certain that it is only a matter of time before Kate’s songs reach every radio in every household from NYC to the Dominican Republic! Join us for the opening night party where Kate will be performing live!

Vincent Partners and Cablevision Give Mets Fans an Amazin’ Experience

As is usually the case when someone throws their first pitch from a Major League mound, Edward Williams of East Marion, NY had many family and friends in attendance. What was unusual about the event on August 21^st is that Edward is a 79-year-old grandfather.

Edward was on the mound because he was the Grand Prize winner in the iO Digital Cable Amazin’ Day at Shea Sweepstakes. As a prize, he and 12 friends and family got to watch the Mets play the San Diego Padres from the SportsNet NY luxury suite while Edward threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Vincent Partners worked closely with Cablevision to create the concept for the sweepstakes, brand it, design all of the sweepstakes’ creative and aid in prize fulfillment. We hope we’re not boasting too much if we say that we did an Amazin’ job.

There was a second prize winner who won an HDTV and 125 third prize winners received a family 4-pack of tickets to the same game as Edward. Over 500 lucky fans got to watch one of the most exciting games of the year thanks to Cablevision, as the Mets made a dramatic 9th inning comeback to win the game.  Talk about positive brand association.
