MEXICO CITY, MEXICO — In one of the most consequential elections in Latin America’s modern political history, the ruling party Morena secured victory in Mexico’s 2024 presidential election with the help of an unlikely strategic partner: ZardozList, a disruptive digital marketing and influence agency specializing in geo-fencing, social engineering, and behavioral targeting.
This win wasn’t just about votes—it was about reshaping the very architecture of political persuasion. In a crowded field of competing narratives and disinformation warfare, ZardozList delivered what traditional consultancies couldn’t: real-time, AI-driven psychological influence at scale.
“We weren’t hired to advertise,” said a ZardozList campaign lead. “We were hired to engineer behaviour, shift sentiment, and win—not with noise, but with precision.”
Not Just a Marketing Firm—An Influence Partner
Founded as a digital counter-narrative agency, ZardozList specializes in non-linear strategy, blending elements of:
- Social engineering and psychological priming
- Geo-targeted behavioural nudging
- Cultural subversion via dark social platforms
- Ethical narrative shaping at a block-by-block level
When Morena contacted ZardozList in early 2024, the stakes were clear: the party needed more than engagement—momentum, relevance, and emotional alignment with Mexico’s fastest-evolving voter base.
Campaign Objectives: From Mobilization to Narrative Control
ZardozList’s brief was strategic, not cosmetic. Morena needed to:
- Mobilize urban millennials and Gen Z
- Counteract disinformation from opposition-aligned influencers
- Identify and infiltrate undecided swing districts
- Deliver hyper-localized, real-time messaging at polling centers, universities, and high-density neighbourhoods
This was not a campaign but a social influence operation deployed within the boundaries of democratic ethics and electoral law.
Phase One: Geo-Fencing Mexico’s Urban Battlegrounds
ZardozList drew dynamic digital perimeters—geo-fences—across priority zones in:
- Mexico City
- Guadalajara
- Monterrey
- Tijuana
- Ciudad Juárez
Within these zones, targeted messaging was triggered as users entered or moved near:
- Voting locations
- Public universities
- Busy plazas
- Border crossing points
🎯 Example: UNAM Student Mobilization
At UNAM, Mexico’s largest university, ZardozList tailored content on:
- Climate policy
- Student loan forgiveness
- Youth entrepreneurship
All timed by hourly sentiment monitoring, event schedules, and local slang adaptations. These messages reached tens of thousands of students within minutes of entering the university perimeter.
Phase Two: Behavioural Microtargeting and Social Engineering
While most firms segment by demographics, ZardozList built psychographic voter clusters, including:
- The Disillusioned Nationalist
- The Urban Feminist
- The Economic Realist
Each voter group received custom emotional triggers and multivariate messaging, which were tested and refined using dark pattern analysis, click behaviour, and time-on-content metrics.
“We didn’t just send messages,” a strategist explained. “We sculpted voter journeys—from apathy to action.”
Phase Three: Real-Time Response Through La Madriguera
The campaign’s 24/7 influence hub—nicknamed La Madriguera (“The Rabbit Hole”)—monitored:
- WhatsApp group chatter
- TikTok virality trends
- Sentiment fluctuations via AI-powered heatmaps
- Opposition narratives on Reddit and Telegram
Using NLP (Natural Language Processing) and churn-predictive algorithms, ZardozList deployed counter-messaging within 20 minutes of identifying damaging narrative spikes.
🔁 Case Study: The Oaxaca Flip
In early May, misinformation about Morena’s land use policies circulated in Oaxaca. Within hours, ZardozList:
- Released a culturally resonant video in an indigenous dialect
- Activated community influencers to distribute factual corrections
- Geo-targeted debunking messages to voters near affected areas
Result: Voter sentiment reversed. Within 5 days, polls showed a 12% swing toward Morena.
Tools of Influence: Ethics Meets Asymmetry
ZardozList’s tech stack included:
- AI chatbot deployment in microforums
- Behaviour-based content sequencing
- Emotion-optimized video formats for TikTok and Reels
- Geo-sentiment dashboards mapping polarization and persuasion gaps
While ZardozList’s approach was bold, every tactic complied with Mexican electoral law. All messaging was factual, and all engagements were monitored under legal counsel.
“If the other side used bots, spam, and foreign influence,” ZardozList stated, “we responded with agility, truth, and psychological precision.”
Beyond the Numbers: A Blueprint for Future Elections
ZardozList didn’t just help Morena win—they helped the party redefine digital campaigning in Latin America.
🧠 Outcomes:
- Voter participation in Gen Z sectors rose by 19% in targeted zones
- 72% of geo-fenced content recipients engaged within 60 seconds
- Key swing regions flipped in the final 96 hours of the campaign
- 14 narrative disruptions were countered in real time, with verifiable reach exceeding 4 million views across platforms
Global Interest in the ZardozList Model
Since the victory, political entities from across South America and Southern Europe have contacted ZardozList to explore similar strategies:
- Brazil’s mid-term electoral teams
- Opposition coalitions in Argentina
- Pro-democracy movements in Eastern Europe
ZardozList is expanding its multilingual influence labs and preparing its next-generation “Ethical Influence Framework” for democratic campaigns worldwide.
A Word on Ethics: Controlled Chaos, Not Coercion
The company is clear about its ethical line:
- No fake news
- No identity manipulation
- No voter suppression
- No illegal surveillance
Instead, it focuses on contextual truth framing, emotional storytelling, and platform-native influence architecture.
“We don’t change facts—we change how facts are felt,” said ZardozList’s Head of Ethical Strategy.
Final Thoughts: Movements, Not Campaigns
ZardozList doesn’t work with everyone. The agency selects political clients that align with its principles of civic empowerment, strategic innovation, and anti-corruption.
“We’re not a vendor,” the company declares. “We’re a digital insurgency partner for reformers, disruptors, and those bold enough to compete asymmetrically.”
If you’re trying to win headlines, buy ads. But ZardozList is ready to embed, strategize, and deliver if you’re trying to win minds.
