If you were to search #WeAreLenovo, you would normally find an array of posts from Lenovo employees doing innovative technology demos or showing off their Lenovo pride, teamwork, or volunteerism in the community. However, since Giving Tuesday, the #WeAreLenovo has been taken over by employees’ #Unselfie, showcasing the causes they care about most.
#GivingTuesday is a global giving movement fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. It is always celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) following the Black Friday and Cyber Monday consumer holidays. This year, #GivingTuesday resonated with people around the world as a reminder to give back to charitable causes during the holiday season.
As a global company, Lenovo has a special opportunity to engage its employee base in Giving Tuesday, providing the #Unselfie social media campaign as a platform for employees to share the causes they care most about. Employees who participated by using #Unselfie and #WeAreLenovo hashtags in their posts were automatically entered in a random drawing to win $500.00 USD for the charity they highlighted. The randomly selected winners are below, but you can also view some very creative posts below.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the #Unselfie campaign!
