Big sporting events are a real staple of Twibbon campaigns and the Rugby World Cup battle between Wales and France last weekend brought out the patriot in the Welsh fans, prompting our Custom Campaign of the week. 

Since the beginning of the campaign just last week, the Twibbon has garnered a fantastic 2,500 supporters! 

We have found that adding a Twibbon to your profile picture encourages discussion and involvement in a cause, Here is what some supporters and Twibbon users were saying about the I Believe campaign:

Because this was a Custom Campaign filled with features and not just a free one, @bbcscrumtv were able to use additional features to increase their Twitter followers and their Facebook likes 

With a Custom Campaign, users who add your Twibbon will automatically follow your Twitter account which means increased, targeted supporters. For BBC Wales, the result was an increase of 1,000 followers in a week!

As well as the increased Twitter followers, BBC Wales were able to benefit from other Custom Campaign features such as:

1. Increased Facebook Likes  – a feature which specifies that users must “like” a page before they can add a Twibbon, and not forgetting the added extra that they were able to promote their Facebook page on their Twibbon page.

2. Complete control over their message –  the ability to customise tweets and status updates that their supporters automatically sent out when adding the Twibbon.

BBC Wales were able to get all of these great benefits and more for just a one-off fee of $99! That is amazing value for money, and that payment is what keeps Twibbons free and our site ad free.

Our Custom Campaigns are perfect for fans, teams or sporting events looking to quickly and easily expand their online presence with targeted, engaged users. If you would like all of the above features for your brand, cause or event, why not Create your own CustomCampaign today?

We are cheating slightly this week (!) and are focusing on a user who has created 13 Custom Campaigns, all related to the cause "Collars not Cruelty".

WSPA - the World Society for the Protection of Animals - is a global organisation that works in many different countries and with many different languages. Therefore they took their “Collars not Cruelty” initiative (which is against dogs being needlessly put to death in a misguided attempt to eradicate rabies) and made a Custom Campaign for each region that they operate in.

Since the campaign began just over two weeks ago, the combined supporters of all the campaigns has risen to an astonishing 12,000!

As more people add a Twibbon, the more they participate with and involve themselves in a cause. Here is what some supporters were saying about the Collars not Cruelty campaign:-

Because this was a Custom Campaign and not just a free one, WSPA were able to access additional tools to increase their Facebook Likes.

Their 13 different Facebook Pages increased by 20,000 likes, thanks to the Custom Campaign feature which asks users to “like” a page before they add a Twibbon, as well as the bonus that WSPA were able to promote their Facebook page on their Twibbon page.

And, for a little bit extra, each campaign also included a custom-branded header, footer and background to give WSPA more ownership over the Twibbon campaign, and make it more visually cohesive with their other promotional efforts.

As well as the increased Likes on their Facebook page, WSPA were able to benefit from other Custom Campaign features such as:

1. Increased Twitter followers – New supporters automatically followed their Twitter account.

2. Complete control over their message – WSPA were able to customise the tweets and status updates that their supporters automatically sent out when adding the Twibbon.

3. Increased traffic – Supporters were automatically redirected to website of the creators choice (in this case their own website) when they added the Twibbon.

WSPA also inspired their fans on facebook to add the Twibbon with regular updates and encouragement. 

Our Custom Campaigns, at only $99 one off fee, are perfect for individuals, charities or businesses looking to quickly and easily expand their online presence with targeted, engaged users.

CoverJunction is the place for creating, sharing and discovering the highest-quality Facebook Profile Covers on the web - http://coverjunction.com

Last month, Facebook announced some of the biggest changes to its site in its 7-year history, which may well fundamentally change the way that we all interact with the site.

One of these changes was the launch of the brand new Facebook profile called “Timeline". The new profile allows you to highlight, share and curate your favourite events, photos and updates from your entire life. The result is a little something like this:

At the very top of the new profile is a wide, prominent image known as a Cover. This unique image can be anything you want, and acts like a first impression to anyone visiting your profile.

Storm Ideas saw the addition of the Cover as the perfect opportunity to launch an online community dedicated to the creation, discovery and sharing of high quality Covers on Facebook. The result is CoverJunction.

September has come and gone in a blink, so let’s take our look back at the month's Twibbon highlights!

We started off in a sporty fashion with a Twibbon celebrating footballer Roger Ceni’s 1000th game as goalkeeper for Sao Paulo - which an amazing 10,000 of his fans added to their avatars.

Teaming up with ITV Rugby for this year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, we kicked off the  historic competition with some awesome-looking Twibbons for Rugby fans to add. We also launched Ultimate Fan; a bespoke Facebook app for ITV where fans can prove their loyalty by earning points for supporting their team -  keep your eyes out for a blog post dedicated to this exciting collaboration soon!

After Twibbon was taken over by ABC and Seventeen magazine in July in a bid to stamp out cyberbulling, a nice coda to the campaign was this stunning mosaic, generated from all of the avatars of those who had added the Twibbon on Twitter and Facebook.

We also had a couple of famous dates in September: Google became a teenager on the 27th of the month:

And the still hugely popular author Roald Dahl - who has a special day set aside for celebration - was commemorated on the 13th. His fans were keen to share with us their favourite Roald Dahl book!

The anniversary of 9/11 engendered the popular campaign Flag 911 - which we blogged about more fully here - and made International day of Peace being held this month all the more poignant.
