Just like anything you start from scratch, you always start with zero. Zero Twitter followers, zero ticket sales and zero sponsors. Zero can be scary, but more so exciting because it means anything and everything is within reach!
Two months in, #DefineTO has come a long way and it’s really all thanks to YOU. We’re growing our brand and community, we’re selling tickets but most importantly, we are partnering with some amazing people, organizations and sponsors. These partnerships are giving back to the community by supporting local causes like the Remix Project. Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today and for that, we’re extremely grateful.
We want to give props to those who are now part of the #DefineTO team:
Silver Sponsors: Rogers and Marketwire Sysomos
Bronze Sponsors: Edelman, Molson Coors, Drex Jancar, Park59 Consulting and Cision
Our Community Partners: IABC and mesh
Our In-Kind Sponsors: XConnect, popchips, Booty Camp Fitness, Green Rabbit Media, Nat&Marie, The Fifth Social, Open Optics, Gelaskins, Evoke Salon, RightSleeve and TweetWall Pro
A very special shout out goes out to @Rightsleeve and @MolsonCoors who were our first sponsors and jumped in fearlessly to support us right from the get-go! The leap of faith they took in supporting the entrepreneurial spirit behind #DefineTO shows their dedication to spreading good in this community and getting behind passionate ideas. They are leading by example and we are ecstatic to have them as part of the team!
So, if you haven’t gotten behind the cause yet, the good news is that there’s still time to get your tickets! Go to www.defineto.com to buy online now!
Finally, thanks to all of YOU for your RTs, follows but most importantly your enthusiasm and support. We have an amazing evening planned on Thursday to celebrate the Remix Project, our successes and how we all do our part in d e f i n i n g Toronto.
Can’t wait to see you on Thursday at the Fifth!
