Globe Telecome's broadband brand, Tattoo, spearheads the 5th Annual Social
Media Day in the Philippines with the launch of this year’s Tatt Awards, the
country’s leading award giving body for social media that celebrates
individuals who made a remarkable impact in the online space.
Known
for recognizing greatness especially within the digital space, Tattoo has since
formed Tatt Awards as a platform for the netizens who exceed expectations and lead the social media
revolution with every content that they share.
Now
on its 4th year, Tatt Awards kicks off with a Call for
Nominations alongside the biggest gathering of various social media communities
in the country – the 5th Annual Social Media Day on June 28,
2014 at the Samsung Hall at SM Aura.
Spearheaded
by Mashable and TweetUpMNL Social Media Day will feature the Best of
Online Media in the Philippines with the official hashtag “#boomPH”. It
talks about the boom in the internet, social media and digital industries in
the Philippines, the opportunities that come with them, their positive impact
on the lives of Filipinos, and the promotion of prosperity for users and
connectivity for all. As 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the Philippines’
first connection to the internet, Social Media Day 2014 simultaneously pays
tribute to the pioneers, remember milestones and give recognition to the
digital natives who represent the future.
“Since
its launch in 2011, the Tatt Awards has remained true to its objective of
celebrating remarkable individuals who have contributed to bringing social
media to where it is today. This year, we saw the 5th Annual
Social Media celebration as the perfect partner for us to connect with the
growing social media community in the Philippines, helping us determine this
year’s top movers and shakers in social media,” shares Globe SVP for Broadband
Business Gilbert Simpao.
At
the event, guests can submit their nominations at the Tatt Awards booth. Apart
from a variety of activities, guests will also be given a chance to take part
in informative forums relevant to social media. Discussions will include topics
on Digital and Social Media Trends, with a Globe representative as part of the
panel, sharing the company’s insights on the evolution of social media and how
the platform has become an effective medium in reaching out to its customers.
This
year, Tatt Awards 2014 aims to spread its reach to a wider audience even
outside the Philippines. Supported by its strong partnerships with renowned
international digital outlets like Mashable, Tatt Awards, takes it to the next
level with the new roster of Tatt Council members, alongside major special
awards for international personalities.
