Simjen is keeping up with the industry trends with a new Google+ page

November saw the launch of the newest Google+ feature – ‘Pages’. We are excited to be a part of this new social media platform, and we are loving the features and newfound abilities to keep in touch with our ‘circles’. If you’re on Google+, or you are planning on making a business profile, join our circle to keep up to date with our breaking news, promotions, links, photos, advice and much more. Check out our new page here.

Google+ takes the best of existing social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter and adds its own individual brand of interactivity and functionality. Take, for example, its “Circle” system, by which you can sort your friends and contacts into groups according to how you see them, or consider the “Hangouts” system, where you can instantly connect with any online friends with text, voice or video.

Local hero Ray Colbert rode his wheelchair all the way from Toowoomba to Brisbane, raising awareness and funds for asbestos research.

Turner Freeman Lawyers, as well as the Queensland Asbestos Related Disease Support Society (QARDSS). Please check out Ray’s Ride on facebook and twitter to learn more about the insidious disease that is asbestosis, and one man’s courageous fight to conquer it.

Rumour has it that Ray is also planning a second ride to continue raising awareness and funds to put an end to asbestos exposure, and to help develop effective treatments for the millions of Australians. One thing is for sure – Simjen will have his back the entire way.

Charity support took pole when CanTeen and BoysTown sped into Lakeside Raceway for an adrenalin-charged day with Jonny Reid and the Simjen Racing team.

Helping to brighten the day for a selection of members from charity organisations CanTeen and BoysTown, Jonny Reid and the Simjen Racing team took over Lakeside Raceway for an electrifying day of speed, fun and friendship.

As part of Simjen’s ongoing philanthropic efforts supporting a host of fantastic charities, CEO Simon James and Carrera Cup race star Reid were on hand to treat some fortunate charity members to an exhilarating session of hot laps in the lightning quick Simjen Silver Bullet race car.

With a gorgeous sunny day greeting all participants, the youngsters were suited up in protective clothing and helmets before enjoying the ride of their life, Reid putting the pedal to the floor for a session of laps that had the gang holding on tight. Autographs, lunch and the chance to chat with Reid rounded out the action-packed day, before everyone left in style sporting a flash Simjen Racing team T-shirt to mark the occasion.

From Simon, Jonny and all the Simjen team, we’d once again like to extend our heartfelt thanks to those that came out to take part in the wonderful day; Nathan, Jessica and Emily from CanTeen, and Dylon, Angela, Shaun, Huynh and Terrance from BoysTown. It was all of you that made the event so special.

Simjen actively supports local charities and not-for-profit organisations in their humanitarian endeavours to make the world a better place.

Here at Simjen we are passionate about making a difference in the world. That’s why we play an active role in supporting local charities and not-for-profit organisations in their marketing and fundraising endeavours. Our expertise in the many facets of business marketing helps these organisations gain the awareness and exposure they need to achieve their humanitarian goals.  

Over the past few months we have proudly been involved with Melanoma Patients Australia, Queensland Asbestos Related Disease Support Society, and Ray’s Ride. Using the digital marketing, film, print and social media platforms, we have boosted each group’s image and supported them in their efforts to raise awareness for each individual cause.

Melanoma Patients Australia (MPA) is an organisation dedicated to representing the thousands of Australians diagnosed with melanoma every year, by providing inspiration and hope to its members. In a show of support, we provided MPA with effective branding assistance, brochures, and a professionally appealing and user-friendly website to attract attention to their cause.     

Queensland Asbestos Related Disease Support Society (QARDSS) is an organisation that supports those who have been affected by asbestos related diseases. They provide sufferers with the emotional, educational, financial and legal help they need to overcome their difficulties. Utilising our social media expertise, we created a professional and interactive Facebook page and twitter account for QARDSS to communicate with their members.

Ray’s Ride is a charity event that could potentially change the lives of thousands of people suffering from asbestos related diseases. Ray Colbert will ride his wheelchair from Toowoomba to Brisbane to raise much-needed funds for asbestos disease research. To help promote Ray’s Ride, we created a promotional video, an interactive and informational website and first-rate signage to ensure his cause truly stands out.
