Bluegill Creative will demonstrate at a national conference how social media can raise awareness and help people in need.

The 400 participants at “Social Slam” will receive from Bluegill a “Buzz Does” hand buzzer during the April 13 conference at the Knoxville Convention Center. Attached to the toy will be a card detailing how a Twitter “Tweet” with the hashtag #buzzdoes will result in a donation to the Red Cross designated for the Japanese relief effort. Bluegill and several other companies including (PYA, Realty Trust Group, Integracon, Commonwealth Orthopaedics, SSN) will make a contribution for each tweet. A website, http://bit.ly/buzzdoes will list sponsors, total amount raised, and will include a live stream of ongoing Tweets. Individuals will also be given the opportunity on the site to make direct contributions.

Jeremy Floyd of Bluegill Creative says, “We are privileged to take part in Social Slam, and we view Buzz Does as a great fit with their goal of measuring the dramatic impact inherent within social media.”

Social Slam is designed for businesses that want to use digital media, measure its impact and increase the bottom line.
