As we know, Twibbon is used to promote all types of causes, but one of the sectors using Twibbon most strategically and effectually are Event Organisers. Planners and co-ordinators have quickly caught on to using Twibbon as an effective marketing tool, along with the customary adverts/Facebook pages/posters and so on.  Here is a look at some of the most successful event-led campaigns:

Day of Silence

The Day of Silence Twibbon was created by @dayofsilence -  the organisers themselves -  to promote the day of action when students across the country would spend a day not speaking in order to raise awareness of the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying in schools – and gained a fantastic 5,300 supporters. Furthermore, because it was a Custom Campaign, all fans who added the Twibbon were automatically re-directed to the Day of Silence page, making it easy for them to see how to get involved.

DFS Crufts

The Crufts Twibbon was started by the famous dog competition for 2011, and garnered a healthy 900 Supporters.

Using the link to their Facebook fan page on their Twibbon page, Crufts increased their Facebook likes by 2,500 in just a month!

The Moonwalk London

The Moonwalk London Twibbon was initiated by Walk the Walk, the charity behind all the Moonwalks to encourage women to sign up for the event. The campaign proved  to be a huge success reaching 3,300 supporters. Taking advantage of the Custom Campaign's auto-follow feature, the creator managed to increase their Twitter followers, as you can see below from their Twitter follower stats:

They also took advantage of the Twibutes that come free with Twibbon and turned their Twitter background into another marketing tool!

July got off to a speedy start with thousands of you supporting the most famous and gruelling cycling race in the World; the Tour De France.

The cycling wasn’t the only sporting event keeping us busy this month as the Open Golf Championship began on the 14th; the occasion being marked by two Facebook apps created for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, engaging fans with the competition.

There were also two big sporting events being prepared for - South Africa fans were getting ready for the Rugby World Cup in September by celebrating Bok Day – and the London 2012 Olympics flagging up that there is only one year to go until their big day! 

For our American cousins July 4th was celebrated in style with a Twibbon made in-house here at Twibbon Towers! 

July was also the month where we were taken over by ABC and Seventeen Magazine in a bid to stamp out cyberbullying. They managed to get an incredbile 67,000 Twitter and Facebook supporters to add their Twibbons - and the number is still growing!

The final segment in the Harry Potter story came to a rip roaring end this month and Potter mania lead to over 4,000 fans adding his 7 Twibbon!

When New York became the sixth and largest state to legally allow gay marriage on the 24th of the month, GLAAD decided to celebrate by making a cute Twibbon for their followers. Their cause was helped further by a well followed Twitter user Ricky Martin adding the Twibbon himself!

The tragic and horrific events of the 22nd of July in Oslo and Utoya brought forth a mass outpouring of sympathy for the Norwegian people. This support was reflected on Twibbon, with a staggering 103,000 people adding the Twibbon for Norway before the week was out - becoming the 5th most supported Twibbon we have ever had. Hundreds added words of support on Facebook

Most Retweeted Tweet – This honour went jointly to Nelson Mandela's 93rd birthday Twibbon, and to the minute silence for Norway promoted as Twinute Silence; encouraging Twitter and Facebook users not to use these social networks for a minute on the 29th July at 5pm in a bid for a united social conscience.

Combining Microsoft DeepZoom technology with TagView functionality, crowds of thousands of people can be easily navigated; allowing fans to tag themselves in massive crowd images in seconds.

Our latest creation has already been snapped up by rock festival High Voltage, and Brit Award-winning boy band JLS, who have been using the app to engage fans during their UK-wide tour.

With over 1.5 million people following the band via their Facebook fan page, TagViews has proved an instant hit with over 6,000 JLS gig-goers tagging themselves, thanks to TagViews' ability to be easily-installed onto JLS' Facebook page.

Even fans who had not attended a JLS gig were able to engage with TagViews via a Where’s Waldo style competition feature - which involves finding a hidden Gold Disc in each TagView. Users could also take a snapshot of them or their mates at the gig that appeared in a frame being held by the JLS members.

As fans tag themselves and interact with the app, they automatically post a message on their wall, encouraging all of their friends to tag themselves in the TagView, and increasing viral hits to the application.

Now in conversation with a number of world-famous recording artists and festivals who are also keen to utilise the Facebook app, TagViews is the ideal online product for bands, sports teams, venue owners and event organisers who are looking to increase genuine, long-lasting engagement with their fans, as well as boosting the number of likes for their page.
