Brief Explanation

During Ramadan, HTC wanted to truly ‘engage’ their audience across the UAE. We conceptualised an inspiring Facebook App offering the chance to be part of a unique humanitarian initiative. Users had to ‘Like’ the HTC MEA Page and invite their friends to a Virtual Iftar. Participants with maximum attendees every week won smartphones and had an actual Iftar Party hosted on their behalf by HTC for children with Special Needs. RESULTS: 66,511 total referrals; 3,711 registered members for app; 6,062 new fans; 64,898 total fans (from 58,836 in just 4 weeks); 150 families enjoyed Iftars with HTC and the winners.
