The list is out.
With the Social Media Awards 2018 just around the corner on June 14th, a host of Cork Instagrammers and Facebookers are celebrating after receiving coveted nods in a range of categories.
It’s no surprise really – we’re a sociable bunch on Leeside.
Yay Cork, the first website by Ireland’s newest digital publisher, Cork-based Yay Media, is a finalist in the Social Media for a Media Organisation category, alongside Maximum Media sites Her and Joe and Lovin Media Group.
Launched in December 2017, Yay Cork is also nominated in the Best Video/Video Campaign of Company/Org (In-house, small) category for its #welikecorklike launch campaign, promoting the many reasons to live in and visit Cork.
Yay Cork received three nominations in total, a third in the Best Use of Instagram by an SME category, joined by Team Hope, designer and developer Aidan O’Carroll of Avalanche Designs, who is also in the running for Best Blog, and OnTheQT.ie, a travel website run by Stephanie Lynch.
