At Collaborate, we’re always ready to help the under-privileged and an initiative such as Kiva is a great idea. Kiva says it best, “Kiva’s mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva is the world’s first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend to unique entrepreneurs around the globe.”

Please log on and lend.

Thanks.

Campaign Magazine’s viewpoint about Peace Day UAE campaign

Claire — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 11:04:57 +0000

As you may (or may not) be aware, I have been supporting the Peace Day UAE initiative on behalf of Collaborate Marketing, providing marketing assistance and managing the brand online (built the website with Flip Media and organized the social media Twitter, facebook etc).

Below is Campaign magazine’s opinion on the initiative and the fact that so many agencies can come together and work to create a multi media campaign in a very short time frame, in the name of a very noble cause.

Working on this initiative I have formed friendships with colleagues from numerous agencies and really enjoy the late nights planning and discussing the aspects of getting everything up and running for the 21st September.

We meet once weekly and are in contact each day ensuring the campaign runs perfectly.

So, what will you do to support peace on the 21st September?

Keep collaborating,

Been working hard to finalize the www.peaceday.ae website all week, collaborating with the team at Flip Media and the Peace Day UAE team (of which I am a member).

The site will launch today, Thursday 27th August, in conjunction with the screening of Jeremy Gilley’s film Peace One Day, a documentary detailing his pursuit to achieve a permanent annual day for peace, which he achieved and that day is September 21st

The Scene Club will be hosting the screening at the Knowledge Village Auditorium.

The screening will be attended by numerous ambassadors to the UAE and H.H Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan Minister of Higher Education will also be addressing the 500 guests with his own video message of support and solidarity for the project.

The UN International Day of Peace is 21st September, so please visit the UAE Peace Day campaign website www.peaceday.ae to see how you can get involved and join us to support Peace on September 21.

Peace Day September 21

A commitment to peace pledge event will take place at Cinestar, Mall of Emirates, Dubai on Peace Day September 21, all the details are on www.peaceday.ae

Amazingly this site was just an idea 4 weeks ago and with the assistance of Flip Media and the Peace Day UAE team, we got it up and running quickly.

Overall we have achieved so much for the Peace Day UAE campaign in so little time, so many creative people got involved and the response we received has been immense.

Keep collaborating,

Claire
