Skinkers support BBC Children in Need with Pocket Pudsey
Skinkers, the leaders in Information Broadcast technology, today announced that once again, they are supporting BBC’s Children in Need Appeal with the launch of desktop Pocket Pudsey.
Desktop Pocket Pudsey will be delivering Appeal news and prompting users to donate. For the past two years Skinkers has provided the charity with desktop Tiny Terry, which last year was downloaded by more than 30,000 users.
Matteo Berlucchi, CEO, Skinkers commented, “This is the third year that our technology has helped BBC Children in Need to deliver updates and drive people to their website to donate. Skinkers Live Notification Platform provides an exciting new communication channel which is proven to be dramatically more effective than email at delivering important information, in a timely way, with visibility and impact.”
Pocket Pudsey can be downloaded at: www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/index.shtml
This year's BBC Children in Need Appeal takes place on Friday 16 November
