Rotorua awards 3000th Facebook fan

As part of my day job at Destination Rotorua Tourism Marketing as Web Development Coordinator I setup and maintain the official Rotorua Facebook fanpage.

Along with Craig Hammond, the Domestic and Events Marketing Coordinator, we keep the posts and updates coming that automatically get posted to our official Rotorua Twitter account.

On March 22, I posted “Counting the fans until we hit 3000, only 76 to go! Might have to round up a goodie bag for the 3000th fan!“, five days later Rotorua had their 3000th fan.

So the following week I contacted some local Rotorua operators who are actively using Social Media in their marketing plans and a few quickly came baring gifts that I could present to our 3000th fan, Amber Kedian.

Those fabulous Rotorua operators were:

• Agroventures Rotorua
• Fat Dog Cafe
• Polynesian Spa
• Rainbow Springs Kiwi Wildlife Park

Moving up in the world

Well, I’m certainly moving up in world, not up the corporate ladder, but physically up in our office, to the third floor.

My new office is the highest room in our entire building, right underneath the clock. So all day long I hear the ticking of the clock.

Pure Luxury Cruise on Lake Rotoiti, Rotorua

Ever wanted to board a 50+ foot luxury catamaran and sail around Rotorua’s third largest lake?

Well, now thanks to Pure Cruise in Rotorua you can.

This morning, half the staff from my office including myself were lucky enough to get a famil on the luxury 53 foot catamaran that cruises Lake Rotoiti.
