Social media agency chooses unusual way to open its new office space in Leeds

Article posted: 28 Jan 2011

PR and social media agency Umpf is offering internet users a special prize to mark its move to new office space in Leeds.

In what it described as "the UK's most lucrative ever Foursquare check-in", the company will give a £1,000 voucher to any new client who visits its offices on the social media application and then tweets about it.

The voucher is redeemable against the agency's social media services and will be available throughout 2011.

"We wanted to do something a bit different to the boring old 'smiling-staff-in-new-offices' photo," explained Adrian Johnson, owner of Umpf.

"So true to our work, we've added a social media layer with a unique offer," he added.

The agency has also created a video to promote the Foursquare campaign and its move to new riverside premises in Leeds.

Foursquare is a web application that awards points to users who "check-in" at venues, allowing them to track the movements of friends and update their location through Facebook and Twitter.
