Freeworld Media announces the launch of Hippo Water Roller website, impacting communities worldwide.

 

Atlanta, GA- September 25, 2008 - Freeworld Media, Inc., the Atlanta-based social media company, announced on Wednesday, September 24, 2008, the launch of Hippo Water Roller website (www.hippowateroller.org). On that same day, Google announced Project 10^100 (“10 to the 100th”) (www.project10tothe100.com), which will pay as much as $10 million to the best project that has broad and beneficial impact on people’s lives. The Hippo Water Roller Project was presented s “the kind of concept the company would be interested in rewarding.”

The Hippo Water Roller is a barrel-shaped tool designed to transport water more easily and efficiently in developing countries, which allows people to transport five times the amount possible over traditional methods. The Hippo Water Roller Project, its staff comprised entirely of volunteers, aims to bring as many Hippo Water Rollers as possible to sections of South Africa and educate the global community about the daily burden of water collection through the new website. The result of increased water transportation leads to sustainable agriculture, higher rates of education, higher mortality rates, and fewer injuries to women and children who must carry the burden of water transportation in most villages.

“Our new website has been extremely well-received, and is already helping us have a bigger impact through donations, lots of email sign-ups, requests for Hippo Rollers and offers of help from around the world, said Grant Gibbs, Founder of the Hippo Water Roller. “Our sincere thanks goes out to the entire Freeworld team for pulling out all the stops in getting our wonderful website up and running in time. It has truly been a pleasure working with Freeworld Media. We were consistently impressed by their creativity, professionalism, and commitment to our project.”

“We are honored to be a part of this exciting project that shows how a fresh perspective and a new idea can make a bigger impact than traditional methods,” said Sean Wood, Freeworld Media Inc., CEO. “We believe that a simple, well-thought out design can change the world and we’re glad that our web marketing talents were able to bring so much attention to the Hippo project.”

Freeworld Media launches the Arby’s Foundation website just in time for golf tournament season.

 

Atlanta, GA- May 8, 2007 - Freeworld Media announced today the completion of the Arby’s Foundation website (www.arbysfoundation.org). Officially launching April 16th, the site showcases a new identity for the Arby’s Foundation, which since its inception in 1986, has donated over $27 million to support leadership, education and mentoring initiatives in the communities they serve. The site promotes the Foundation’s fundraising initiatives including the Arby’s Charity Tour, a series of amateur golf tournaments and special events held throughout North America to raise awareness and funds for local Big Brother Big Sister agencies and other youth mentoring organizations.

One of the primary requests from the Foundation was to create a site which would improve the user experience allowing tournament participants to access their necessary information within three clicks. “Freeworld exceeded our expectations in the sites ease-of-use by enabling participants to access all tournament details and travel directions in two clicks and upcoming tournament details with just one click,” said Jonathan Dew, Director of Marketing and Communications at the Arby’s Foundation. “Our participants are now finding it much easier to access the information they need.”

The Arby’s Foundation has their own in-house team of designers who Freeworld collaborated with to better understand the intricacies and parameters of the Foundation’s new identity and branding. “Freeworld Media’s ability to interact with our team and bring our ideas and concepts to life was outstanding,” said Jay Taylor, Senior Managing Director of the Arby’s Foundation.

The Chairman of the Board for the Arby’s Foundation, Tom Garrett, was equally pleased with the new website, citing the relationship with Freeworld as a success in saying, “this site takes us to a whole new level.”
