August 11th, 2010
categories: competitions, music, syco, youtube

Tags: ,,,

We recently ran a competition for fans of Alexandra Burke to submit videos of themselves dancing, singing, drawing faces on their chins to Alex’s latest song ‘All Night Long’. The idea behind the competition came about as a response to the many videos that her fans had sent in for previous songs, and also as a way to say thank you for their dedication. We thought the best way to do this would be to create the ultimate fan video:

We were inundated with entries, in fact it turned out to be a very successful competition on the whole. But there could only be one winner, and YouTube user nakachwa who won £500, a Sony Bloggie camera and a Sony Vaio laptop with this fantastically creative entry:

EZ Pay Facebook Page Goes Live

Escape
EZ Pay Escape Card is a simple prepay credit card, and they have three versions of these; The original Escape Card with which you use just like any other credit card, plus it’s free top up credit free at Phones 4 U. The Escape Travel Money Card in which can load up with credit before a holiday to assist with budgeting. And finally the Neon Prepay Card aimed at educating the younger generation in budgeting and the responsibility of owning a credit card.

Originally EZ Pay had three separate pages on Facebook, one for each pre-pay card, which we thought was a bit too convoluted for a company who’s core ideology is simplicity. With this in mind we re-designed and developed one new, streamlined page to focus their strategy with one tab per card.

To kick off and celebrate this re-launch we created a competition to win a camera and one of their cards already loaded with £250. Get liking to enter.

We’ve just launched Susan’s Search; a YouTube competition that gives Susan’s fans the chance to sing on her next album. We’ll let Susan explain below:

She’s very excitied about the competition and is really looking forward to collaborating with the winner. “When I did Britain’s Got Talent, I was given a chance by Simon Cowell to show what I could do. This got me thinking about people who maybe missed the opportunity, so I came up with the idea for Susan’s Search. It’s about giving other people an opportunity, it’s about letting them live the dream that they’ve always wanted to do.”

Since the story originally broke on Billboard followed then by all sorts of massive music sites the response has been insanely huge. We’re currently being sent, on average, one video every seven minutes. Susan is now sat on Simon’s side of the desk ready to judge the contestants.
