Four locals named "Fiesta Agents" by Ford

I recently mentioned that local comedian Dartanion London was chosen by Ford to represent the Ford Fiesta in a social media campaign designed to draw interest in their new fuel-efficient car. Though the Fiesta won’t be released in the US until next year, Ford’s giving London a European model of the car to use for six months as an “agent” performing “missions” involving the car which will then be put on display in a variety of social media platforms.

Even though Ford only selected 100 people nationwide to take part in this campaign, it turns out that he’s not the only Washingtonian involved: two other Seattle residents and a guy from Bellingham have also been named “Fiesta agents”. Considering how heavily involved in social media most Seattleites are, it makes sense that we’re so well-represented.

Derek Johnson is the 23 year old CEO of a Bellingham-based company called Tatango which allows easy group text-messaging. His planed series of missions to explore Bellingham can be followed on his website.

Kristina Horner from the U District is a musican (she’s in a Harry Potter band called the Parselmouths), a student at the Dub, and a vlogger whose first planned mission is to visit Washington’s biggest waterfall.

Bridget O’Neill is a Seattle resident who has been an actor and a teacher and now runs a Seattle based art and media development and production company called Confluence Creative Media; follow her vlog for her debut mission, a trip from Seattle to San Diego.
