We are pleased to announce that World Telemedia are kindly supporting our Golf Day on the 19th by providing each player with a pack of limited edition World Telemedia golf balls to use on the day, as well as being there in person on the day.

With our teams booked in, and the tee off times being finalised there is not long to go before we head out to the green at the Selsdon Estate.

Several of the players at our golf day will also be at World Telemedia that is taking place from the 14th October in Marbella. World Telemedia is for any business that wishes to engage and commercialise “connected consumers” whilst they use mobile devices and telephones; to interact with value added service and content promotions. Now celebrating their 30th anniversary year – WT has established itself as a key destination for Advertisers, Merchants, Media and Content Owners – who want seamless micropayment solutions and engagement tools that drive sales and convert customers across a globally expanding range of digital communication networks.

aimm will be there at the event and speaking on at least one panel, and will be joined by many of our members who make the trip out each year to take advantage of the concentration of knowledge and new technology insights that are available at the conference.

Fonix to power mobile donations across all of Cancer Research UK’s fundraising activity

Posted on by Andrea Putnam-Moorcroft

Fonix, the mobile messaging and payments specialist, today announced that it has extended its partnership with Cancer Research UK, one of the world’s leading cancer charities dedicated to saving lives through research.

Fonix first started working with Cancer Research UK in 2017 for the Stand Up To Cancer campaign, a joint national fundraiser from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4, seamlessly enabling mobile donations and Gift Aid. This continued in 2018 with Fonix successfully processing SMS donations to Stand Up To Cancer made during the live show on Channel 4 – significantly contributing to the record £24.6 million raised on the night.

This extended contract will see Fonix power the mobile donations across all of the charity’s fundraising activity, including Race for Life, other challenge events such as Shine Night Walk and the Great Hike and also as a direct response to indoor and outdoor print advertising.

Kathryn Toner, Head of Individual Giving at Cancer Research UK said: “With a proven track record across all high-profile charity campaigns, Fonix’s experience and expertise in the charity sector speaks for itself.

“Text to donate is a great fundraising mechanic for the charity as it is a quick and easy way that the public can donate to the charity and help us bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Cancer Research UK receives no government funding for its life saving research and relies entirely on the generosity of the public. We’re always looking for new ways that the public can donate to the charity such as raising donations via competitions.”

Clare Charles, account director at Fonix added: “It’s been such a privilege to work with Cancer Research UK over the past two years and in this time we’ve seen how our shared passion for innovation has positively impacted the amount raised for such a good cause.

“The extended partnership was the obvious next step for Fonix and Cancer Research UK, and we look forward to driving mobile donations and seeing the results across all fundraising activity.”

“We need to make decisions about the best use of our resources in order to deliver the best outcomes for consumers. This involves making appropriate decisions about which cases to pursue through formal procedures, and which of those cases to prioritise.”

These Principles are outcomes-focussed and aim to ensure that their resources and enforcement approach is targeted to have the greatest regulatory effect.
