6S Supports United Way and in the Process Boosts Staff Morale

Monday, October 26th, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VANCOUVER, BC, October 26, 2009 – As an official partner of the campaign to enhance United Way of the Lower Mainland’s online presence, 6S Marketing has provided pro bono online marketing services and in the process engaged and motivated its staff.  Through important community support, 6S has effectively captured a direct and positive correlation between pro bono or community-based work and employee satisfaction.

“The online marketing services that we have provided on behalf of United Way are the perfect opportunity for us to support an organization that aims to improve communities and change lives,” says Chris Breikss, 6S Marketing Co-Founder and President. “It has also given the team at 6S a chance to be involved with a great cause and stay active within the community.”

Working alongside Domain 7 and Veratta, 6S is providing online marketing services to the United Way of the Lower Mainland, as a part of an overall online initiative aimed at raising awareness for the organizations’ cause. The project is centered on redesigning the website over the course of ten months. The work done by 6S Marketing also integrates the use of social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Flickr to engage and inform online readers.

The United Way project has enabled 6S employees to use their expertise towards a meaningful cause, and as a result, it has fostered both employee satisfaction and dedication. Based on a keen understanding of the importance of giving back to the community, 6S recognizes that employees become engaged and committed when they work for a company that is aligned with their values, and when they are able to find purpose in their work.

Additionally, the company acknowledges that pro bono work is an ideal way to ensure continued commitment in staff during tough economic times. During a time when pay raises and bonuses may not be plentiful, meaningful work serves to provide an alternative to solely monetary satisfaction.

As a company, 6S takes on multiple pro bono projects each year and participates and sponsors community events and initiatives. The company also encourages employees to suggest initiatives that the entire 6S team can contribute to.

“Being able to channel my knowledge and skills towards the United Way project has been extremely rewarding,” says Rachel Wills, an employee at 6S Marketing. “It is great to be part of a company that realizes the importance of being involved with organizations that support our communities.”

“Our organization relies on the generous support of companies like 6S. The talent and expertise at 6S allows us to use online tools to the best advantage. The pro bono commitment by 6S helps us to operate as efficiently as possible, so that more dollars raised by United Way can go directly to strengthening lives throughout Metro Vancouver,” said Michael Becker, assistant director of communications at United Way of the Lower Mainland.

6S Marketing was recently named one of British Columbia’s Top 50 employers. The United Way project began in August 2009, and the website is currently in the process of being redesigned, http://www.uwlm.ca

Twestival – Tweetup for Charity

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Tonight, twitter peeps from around the world will be descending upon their local twestival – 175 in all- all in support of one amazing initiative – raising money for charity: water. Charity: water is a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

According to twestival:

By getting together globally, under short timescales, for a single aim on the same day, the Twestival hopes to bring awareness to this global crisis.

Right now 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us.

Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.

Vancouver’s twestival is being held at the Opus (who donated the space to the event as well as 6% of bar sales for the evening) and has been organized by Vancouver’s own amazingly giving and busy Rebecca Bollwitt (Miss604).
