In fact, we're positive you are going to get super excited when you hear what fans are receiving. Each day an AT&T National pinflag pops up at different locations within the city of Philadelphia. The tournament's official Prize Team posts clues about their locations on Twitter from @TWFoundation and Facebook. According to the tournament website (and our insider information), those who really want to be in the know should also keep an eye on tweets from the AT&T National Tournament Director Greg McLaughlin. His Twitter handle is @TWFGMAC.]]> http://activ8social.com/2011/06/25/att-national-scavenger-hunt/feed/ 0 http://activ8social.com/2011/06/17/subway-leverages-klout-influencers-for-avocado-promotion/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=subway-leverages-klout-influencers-for-avocado-promotion http://activ8social.com/2011/06/17/subway-leverages-klout-influencers-for-avocado-promotion/#comments Fri, 17 Jun 2011 13:47:20 +0000 Anthony Caponiti http://activ8social.com/?p=5982 @KloutPerks alerting me to the fact that I was eligible for a free $10 gift card to Subway restaurants because of my Klout. After clicking through the link, I became aware that the world's largest fast food chain wanted me to try it's new fresh avocado option on its subs and sandwiches. To be honest, as much as I read the likes of the Wall Street Journal, CNN Money, and Fast Company, I somehow missed the industry news that Subway was rolling out an avocado spread (not to be confused with guacamole which has other ingredients beside the fruit) and fresh avocado slices nationwide. My guess is that this simple fact met one objective of the company leveraging Klout—raised awareness.]]> http://activ8social.com/2011/06/17/subway-leverages-klout-influencers-for-avocado-promotion/feed/ 1 http://activ8social.com/2011/06/09/rickie-fowler-red-bull-capital-drive/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rickie-fowler-red-bull-capital-drive http://activ8social.com/2011/06/09/rickie-fowler-red-bull-capital-drive/#comments Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:17:56 +0000 Activ8Social http://activ8social.com/?p=5914 Rickie Fowler, leading up to the 2011 US Open at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland is no different.

Eight lucky fans will have an opportunity to win a football personally autographed by Reggie Bush. The first #RedZones drop begins today at 12pm CST. How can you win one of these footballs? Prior to the drop, a hint such as this on TwitPic will inform participants of the general Red Zone location. At a specified time (see drop schedule) a foursquare check-in will be feed to the @RedZones Twitter account.]]> http://activ8social.com/2010/09/06/reggie-bush-redzones-challenge/feed/ 2 http://activ8social.com/2010/04/23/nfl-creates-social-experience-for-2010-draft/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nfl-creates-social-experience-for-2010-draft http://activ8social.com/2010/04/23/nfl-creates-social-experience-for-2010-draft/#comments Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:39:51 +0000 Steve Cobb http://activ8social.com/?p=1443 2010 NFL Draft was one of the most anticipated and hotly debated in recent history, both off- and online. Rightfully so, the NFL has made a concerted effort to facilitate and capture fan conversations that are taking place across social platforms like Facebook, Twitter and blogging networks. The key to the NFL’s online social media draft strategy was recognizing that “conversations are happening in a lot of different places,” NFL.com’s General Manager Laura Goldberg said. “We want to make sure we’re aggregating comments no matter where they are.”]]> http://activ8social.com/2010/04/23/nfl-creates-social-experience-for-2010-draft/feed/ 0 http://activ8social.com/2010/03/31/jimmy-rollins-looks-to-crank-out-record-breaking-home-run-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jimmy-rollins-looks-to-crank-out-record-breaking-home-run-2 http://activ8social.com/2010/03/31/jimmy-rollins-looks-to-crank-out-record-breaking-home-run-2/#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:55:06 +0000 Activ8Social http://activ8social.com/?p=1348 Rollins has always been known for his blazing speed and affinity for two-baggers.  On Tuesday, April 13th, Rollins will look to add homerun king to an already impressive baseball resume.
