VANCOUVER, BC, March 26, 2009 – 6S Marketing, one of North America’s top internet marketing companies, announces its sponsorship of the 2009 Massive Technology Show and plans to make waves at the event with a unique campaign to promote networking through Twitter.
“At a typical networking event, attendees mingle and pass out business cards. But we noticed that business cards, as they currently exist, don’t often list Twitter IDs or links to other online forums. So for people looking to use social media for business and personal networking there is a disconnect.” explains Chris Breikss, Co-Founder and President of 6S Marketing.
“At 6S, we recognize that social media is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people and businesses, and we wanted to incorporate it into our presence at Massive Tech. Our Twitter themed booth will provide a creative way for attendees to connect at the show that may see them gain an interest in Twitter and social media in general.”
The 6S Marketing Twitter theme will encourage attendees to visit the 6S booth and “tweet” (using Twitter) that they are at The Massive Tech Show. Photos (“twitpics”) of booth visitors will be taken on a 6S backdrop will be uploaded and announced on Twitter throughout the day, so that the Vancouver community gets to take a live look at who is attending the tradeshow and conference.
Additionally, each person who tweets will receive a 6S “twee-shirt” (t-shirt) and access to a sharpie pen. Attendees can then wear or carry around their “twee-shirts” and when they meet someone they can have them write their Twitter ID on the shirt as a substitute for swapping business cards. At the end of the show, attendees are left with the “twee-shirt” memento and a collection of new Twitter friends. The 6S booth will allow access to what is going on at Massive and allow attendees to interact with the online community.
Following the successful launch of the Social Media Marketing division, 6S continues to stay on the cutting edge of new techniques and trends in the social media space. The overall concept for the live Twitter feed during the show as well as the “twee-shirts” was developed to encourage the Vancouver business community to adopt new ways of thinking about networking and business through social media.
“We want to demonstrate that traditional networking, with a social media twist will allow individuals and businesses to further amplify messages and connect with others. We look forward to Twittering alongside everyone at Massive and seeing plenty of people wearing “twee-shirts” roaming around on April 1st.” comments Breikss. “We are hoping to bring a new networking experience to the show, and to have a great deal of fun in the process.”
The 2009 Massive Technology Show will be held on April 1, 2009 at UBC Robson Square. For more information visit: www.massivetechshow.com.
