We are pleased to invite you to the launch of our very first Social Media Club Christchurch event! After being interrupted by the September 2010, February and June 2011 earthquakes, we are finally here to get the Christchurch chapter up and going!
Date: 21 March, Wednesday
Time: 5.30pm to 7.00pm
Venue: The Honeypot Café, 458 Colombo Street Sydenham, Christchurch
Topic: The role of Social Media in Christchurch during the earthquakes and its future role in the city’s recovery.
It’s hard to believe that one year has passed since the February 22nd Christchurch Earthquake that wreaked havoc on our city, our livelihoods, and took 185 loved ones from their families.
The one year anniversary was a day of mixed emotions for most of the country. It was a day of reflection on where we’d been and how far we’d come. It was a day of intense sadness remembering all those that lost their lives. Hearing the names read out at the civic memorial service in Hagley Park was heart wrenching, and seeing that those we lost were from 15 different countries just goes to show it was more than just a New Zealand tragedy. In some way it was felt all over the world.
Last night at the superannuation industry’s night of nights in Melbourne, the AIST Awards for Excellence, CareSuper took out the top gong in the Communication Awards for excellence category with their “Why should you care” campaign.
Featuring TV , Outdoor and Digital, the campaign has been a great success in driving member engagement and growth for CareSuper and our congratulations go out to the CareSuper team for delivering a brilliant campaign.
We are obviously proud of the work too and special thanks to all the Shannon Company team who worked on the campaign.
Stay tuned for the next instalment.
