Sponsors Pack

Following the great success of our Instagallery event in late 2013, Connector is delighted to announce the launch of The Instys, the Instagram Community Awards.

Globally Instagram has 200m monthly active users and 75m daily active users. The Instys are a unique opportunity to engage with the fast growing community of Instagrammers.

We are proud to have Sony Mobile as Irish mobile partner and we are looking for other partners and sponsors to support The Instys award nights, starting in Dublin in early 2015. The Instys have great PR potential for brands, photographers and photogenic people and places everywhere!

We have many great categories with interactive fun online and offline to make The Instys the coolest new social media awards.

We will roll out The Instys to other locations around the world so if you love Instagram, we’d love to talk to you so please get in touch! Conor LynchThe Instys

WE

In September 2013, Ireland’s first Instagallery was organised to celebrate the launch of connector360.

Uniting art, technology & entertainment, we had a live interactive wall that was updated in real time with photos from the event.

The Instagram photo gallery featured 10 influential photographers whose work was showcased on the walls. We had a DJ who captivated everyone and made this gallery experience unique.

With almost no budget and a short lead time, we had over 200 attendees and media coverage in the Irish Times. We had over 150,000 impressions across different social networks.

This was one of the best events organised by Connector with the energy in the room quite electrifying!

Sony Mobile wanted to use the celebration of St Patrick’s Day to interact with attendees of the Dublin parade online and offline.

Their digital agency Connector created the Sony ‘Selfie Studio’ on the streets of Dublin. Starting with no fans, we attracted over 1,000 Irish Instagram fans in 4 weeks with 5,600 offline & online interactions with Sony Mobile through photos and

Instagram posts.
