Introducing MASiF 2011 Social Media Partner

People Power Drives Awareness to Art

SAYS.my is known as Malaysia's people-powered media. With a growing community of over 300,000 social media users that love sharing good stuff, they shared their expertise in accelerating social sharing to boost discussion and encourage participation for the MASiF Photography Competition.

Around 1,500 Malaysians shared the photography competition on their Facebook and drove over 5,000 people to MASiF's website within 24 hours. "Media used to be a one way traffic; now everyone has ‘media power’ through their Facebook account. People choose what they want to share with their friends." said Chris, a social media expert.

Recently, a global poll was conducted and results have shown that 85% of Malaysians aged 18-35 are on Facebook. Since then, everyone has been working on different ways to harness this people powered media.

Malaysia has seen many wonderful talents in the art industry; however the general public's awareness and level of appreciation is still in its infant stage. The local art industry requires a constant push to spread the love of art to every corner of the country.

MASiF is an event to showcase and promote Malaysian creative works in music, arts and fashion to local and international audiences. To spread the love of fine art to the long tail of social media, SAYS.my assisted MASiF to ignite the powerful medium of people-tell-people.
