Voices.com Social Media Sponsor for SENSEsation2011 UnGala

Voices.com is honoured to help pave the way for the SENSEsation2011 UnGala, a fund-raising event unlike any other. It will ignite the senses and bring out the funky and fabulous in everyone. The event will take place on September 30, 2011. Letting people know about the ungala is just one aspect of this multi-faceted sponsorship that will shine some well deserved light on CNIB and the life-changing programs and services they provide to over 3,000 people in London and surrounding area.

Voices.com’s strategy for promoting the ungala includes creating new web content specific to the event, raising awareness about CNIB and drumming up support online. A perfect fit with CNIB, Voices.com recognizes the significant role that voiceover plays in enriching the lives of the people who are blind or partially sighted through audiobook consumption, text-to-speech, audio description and other services.

Voices.com Chief Marketing Officer, Stephanie Ciccarelli, was quick to see how the company could be of service to CNIB and designed a social media campaign tailored to the event complete with the added goal of highlighting measures people can take to help protect their eyes and prevent vision loss. Ciccarelli shares, “We are excited to be part of this event and are grateful to CNIB for the opportunity to contribute. Our goal is to creatively show Londoners and the world how vision loss and voiceover have impacted our community and how sight and sound affect all of us.”

Lindsay Neale, CNIB Specialist, Corporate & Community Development, says, “CNIB is so grateful to have the support of voices.com to promote this important event and our organization via their extensive social media platforms. This partnership is not only a great fit for the unique UnGala; it also lays the foundation for a rewarding relationship between our organizations. Thank you for helping our voice to be heard in spreading the message of vision health and vision hope!”
