Music Rising vence prémio
A camapnha criada por Edge, Music Rising, venceu o prémio Gold Cause Marketing Halo Award por Best Transactional Campaign na 4ª edição do Cause Marketing Forum que se realizou no passado dia 13 de junho em Nova Iorque:
«The campaign, launched by U2’s the Edge, producer Bob Ezrin, Gibson Guitar Chairman and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz, The Guitar Center Music Foundation, and MusiCares has aided over 1,600 Gulf Region musicians. Gibson produced 300 exclusively designed Music Rising Les Pauls, which were sold by Guitar Center. The $1 million raised went directly to Music Rising, which was facilitated by MusiCares and the Gibson Foundation.
“The Cause Marketing Halo Awards demonstrate the good that can be done when businesses and nonprofits team up,” said David Hessekiel, president of Cause Marketing Forum, Inc., the program’s organizer. “It’s a competition in which we all win.” Cause marketing is the strategy of building mutually beneficial alliances between companies and causes.
“Music Rising was an initiative formed by passionate inaugural partners in the music industry and the desire to help people in need,” said Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar. “To date, we have helped many people regain their livelihood and our goal is to continue to help many more. The music of the Gulf Region can once again be heard throughout the world and represent the essence of one of the country’s richest traditions.”»
