March Promotion Offers Clients 50% off Social Media 2.0 Basic and Opportunity to Have Donations Made in Their Names TORONTO--(Marketwire), 4 March 2008 -- Marketwire, a full-service newswire and communications workflow solutions provider, offers its clients the opportunity to take advantage of an innovative promotion during March that extends the reach of their news and lets them help a nonprofit organization. Throughout the month, and in conjunction with the 2008 Charity Calendar, Marketwire clients have the opportunity to join the online conversation with 50 percent off the newswire's Social Media 2.0 basic product, transforming their traditional press releases into social media tools that increase their Internet visibility and track performance. The promotion is part of Marketwire's Charity Calendar initiative that offers companies an opportunity to "Do Something Good for Their Business and for the World." The inaugural calendar invites Marketwire clients to take advantage of this and other monthly service offers, and in so doing, Marketwire makes a donation in their name to their choice of six participating charitable organizations: Concern Worldwide U.S., Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Ocean Futures Society, Opportunity International and World Education. Since introducing Social Media 2.0 in February 2008, dozens of Marketwire clients have engaged online audiences and distributed their news in an entirely new way. Social Media 2.0 is a perfect complement to traditional "wire" distribution and gives communicators the opportunity to leverage social media to develop more direct, targeted and personalized communications in today's saturated news environment. The Social Media release advances the standard press release format, offers a multitude of content options and distributes news in a variety of mediums to distribution channels beyond traditional media distribution networks. "Our charity calendar has made it possible for clients to try out new Marketwire products and services and, in doing so, contribute to worthy causes," said Paolina Milana, Marketwire's vice president of marketing. "What we're offering during the month of March really gives our clients an opportunity to broaden their reach beyond traditional media. Our Social Media 2.0 allows communications professionals to directly interact, responsibly and respectfully, with social networks, online communities, citizen journalists and consumers." Marketwire clients may take advantage of this special offer and select a charitable organization to which Marketwire will make a donation in their name by visiting http://www.marketwire.com/donate. Marketwire, on behalf of its participating clients, will contribute up to $60,000 (USD) to the participating charitable organizations by the end of 2008.
