Strating (Active Marketing) is again organizing the so called ‘inhaakawards ‘or ‘hook on awards’ around the major sporting events in 2008, the Olympics in Beijing and UEFA EURO 2008 in Austria and Switzerland. An expert jury judges on originality in the categories Newspapers/Print, Radio/TV, Internet and SP/Instore. We’re very proud to anounce that we are nominated for a ‘Gouden Inhaakmedaille’ in the category Internet for our spin-off Mooiesportzomer.nl. On this website visitors can very easily add all match schedules of the three major sportevents of this summer (EURO 2008, Tour de France and OS) to their calendars. MarkThisDate is nominated next to companies like Nuon, Lotto en Rexona. If you like our spin-off go to the website click on ‘Inhakers EK 2008′ and vote for Mooiesportzomer.nl.
Last Friday we launched a nice spinoff of MarkThisDate. For EURO 2008 in June, the Tour de France in July and the Olympics 2008 in Beijing in August the event schedules can now also be found on Mooiesportzomer.nl.
We are planning on implementing more of these theme websites. For instance one with the line ups (including start en end times and stage locations) of the summer festivals in Holland. If you have suggestions for other theme websites, or want to start a theme website in collaboration with us just contact us or respond here.
We’re pretty excited about our partnership with Tuxx.nl. Tuxx offers business related information and helpful documents to professionals. They also provide lots of dates which can now also be delivered to calendars. For Tuxx this means they can get their dates into the hart of the computer of their users, namely their electronic calendar. For us this means that we get access to an important user group, namely the business user.
