Comic Relief partners with Piczo social networking site
Howard Lake | 7 March 2007 | News
Comic Relief is using the Piczo social networking site to encourage more young people to get involved and donate on Red Nose day.
Comic Relief has created its own branded space on the site and is posting news, videos, photos and blogs about its fundraising activities. It is encouraging Piczo users, many of them teenagers, to think up fundraising ideas and promote the campaign via the site to their own network of friends.
Comic Relief is running a competition, asking Piczo users to send in their most creative ideas about how to promote Red Nose Day via email. The winner will get a chance to experience the campaign behind Comic Relief.
