Contest brings star power to a Wix user in Latin America
NEW YORK, March 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd. (Nasdaq: WIX) and the English Premier League's Manchester City have teamed up for an all-star campaign, featuring the Club's star players, to reward a Wix user in Latin America.
Through the multi-country campaign, the competition which officially opens today, will grant an amazing opportunity to a user and football fan to promote their winning brand throughout Latin America and beyond.
Manchester City players - Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Claudio Bravo and Aleix Garcia - will promote the campaign, which is the latest in a series of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities giving Wix users the ability to promote their brands with the help of a star spokesperson. Pairing football fandom with Wix, the campaign will identify an outstanding individual that reflects both the work hard, play hard Wix brand and the winning team spirit of Manchester City. The campaign, and the winner, will be promoted via Wix and City's social.
Wix works with artists, photographers, designers, musicians and small businesses all over the world and currently has over 26 million registered users in Latin America.
According to CAF, Development Bank of Latin America, one-third of Latin American workers are autonomous or small employers. SMEs represent more than 90 percent of companies in Latin America, they generate more than half of the employment and one fourth of GDP.
This competition goes beyond business owners, and is open to all Spanish and Portuguese speaking Wix users only in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela.
"We are making a football fantasy come true. It is no secret that Latin America has a passion for football," said Omer Shai, CMO of Wix. "Latin America is also one of our most dynamic markets, and we are combining the best of both worlds to give our winner an unforgettable prize. Our customers and their ingenuity are our greatest pride, and we love being able to delight them with such an exciting opportunity. We want to make some magic and create an experience beyond our winner's wildest dreams."
In February 2016, Wix became City Football Group's Official Website Design & Hosting partner for their clubs Manchester City FC, New York City FC and Melbourne City FC. Since then the company has been developing initiatives such as This City is Ours to engage the clubs' fans.
Omar Berrada, Chief Operating Officer at Manchester City FC added, "We have a large fan base in Latin America, and their passion and support is invaluable to everyone at the Club. With Wix's support, we will be able to offer them a unique opportunity to share their success stories and be featured in a campaign alongside some of their favorite players. We love the boundless creativity and energy and are certain that our fans will as well."
