“Manx Telecom is the perfect partner for Isle of Man Twestival,” said organiser Sherrilynne Starkie (@sherrilynne). “As a brand it touches just about every home and business on the island, and as a telecoms and Internet leader, the social media fit couldn’t be better.”
Twestival (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good by connecting communities offline on a single day to highlight a great cause and have a fun event. It is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative, and this year more than 200 cities worldwide will take part. This is the second Isle of Man Twestival.
“Hundreds of millions of people use Facebook and Twitter, and this trend is playing out in the Isle of Man with tens of thousands of people using our products and services to tweet and catch up with their friends,” explained Voirrey Barron, Manx Telecom’s Marketing Communications Manager. “We are delighted to support this global social media event especially as funds raised locally will go to an Isle of Man charity.”
Isle of Man Twestival 2011 is raising funds for Manx-charity Wish Upon A Dream (@wuadiom), an independent charity that grants wishes for sick children in the Isle of Man. A hundred per cent of the funds raised by Isle of Man Twestival will be donated to this worthy cause.
The sponsorship deal includes the provision of goods, services and a cash donation, along with a healthy dose of enthusiasm among the Manx Telecom’s team!
