Twibbons - Highlights of the Month!
June began sunnily with demands for peace and love as is customary for the month celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights. The LGBT campaign proved extremely popular and gained an amazing 7,600 supporters by the end of the month.
Less peaceful was one of our most contentious, yet massively supported, campaigns. The Stand with Israel Twibbon, made for the controversial American TV host Glenn Beck, was successful in getting everybody hot under the collar and provoking much discussion both on Twitter and Facebook.
Musically speaking The Country Music Television Awards on the 8th of June were well supported, with their own Twibbon as well as two rival singers vying for the top spot: Jason Aldean came well out on top with 3,601 adding his Twibbon, roaring ahead of the band Rascal Flatts who had managed 917 supporters.
Of course it was Father’s Day this month too and our lovely users were keen to express their love for Dads everywhere with a Twibbon. Created by Christian Aid, it also encouraged those who added to give to the charity. Because this was a Custom Campaign, Christian Aid's own Facebook page was right next to the Twibbon allowing those who wanted to find out more to do so easily.
The big news for us here at Twibbon Towers this month was the launch of our eagerly awaited iPhone app which can be downloaded easily from the iTunes store, either online or via your iPhone! You can read more about this exciting new development in our blog post.
Sporting Twibbons are never far from our front page and this month was no exception with both Le Mans and NBA Finals winners Dallas Mavericks featuring, as well as the Stanley Cup Final participants - Boston Bruins versus the Vancouver Canucks - with the latter winning the Twibbon match if not the real thing!
Ten days apart we celebrated Flag Day in the US and Armed Forces Day in the UK, both very emotive causes. The Armed Forces opted for a White Label Twibbon campaign, including features such as a bespoke landing page on Twibbon.com, multiple Twibbons designed by us and mechanisms to increase followers, likes and traffic.
