HIV Advocates Invites You To Observe Zero Discrimination Day On March 1



Join the fight against discrimination. Stop the stigma! March 1 is Zero Discrimination Day and HIV Advocates invites you to join this movement. Open up and reach out!

HIV Advocates, a global initiative that aims to share news, experiences, strategies and new tools that aim to energize human rights movements and communities fighting HIV/AIDS, is encouraging everyone to share their thoughts about the fight against discrimination. What does discrimination mean to you? How important is zero discrimination in your life? How does discrimination impact your life as well as the lives of the people who matter to you? What do you think society should do in order to stop this?

By joining the Zero Discrimination Day celebration on March 1, people will be more aware of the ongoing battle that denies people of their human rights or social participation. One way to take part on March 1 is to thank somebody who has inspired you through tolerance and diversity. HIV Advocates also urges people to show how they want to fight the stigma.

“Be inspired by the butterfly, the transformative symbol for zero discrimination and take part in an activity to express your support for zero discrimination. You might swim like a butterfly, bake a butterfly cake, sing a butterfly song. Be as creative as you like,” according to HIV Advocates.

Supported by Levi Strauss Foundation and powered by B-Change Foundation, HIV Advocates encourages existing and would-be activists to explore the power of social media and other Internet avenues to help spread the message across - that discrimination and stigma against people with HIV/AIDS no longer have any place in society!

10407758_850886521600325_6034186517900598613_n.jpgWhat’s To Love At Sideways Driving Club Hong Kong? Let’s Count The Ways
These are known facts: Sideways Driving Club is the premiere venue for virtual racing in Hong Kong. The simulators at Sideways Driving Club  are endorsed and used by racing drivers around the world, including real F1 drivers. However, there are more facts about Sideways Driving Club  that truly cement the fact that this is the best choice when it comes to fun and thrill right in the middle of urban Hong Kong.

First off, did you know that Sideways Driving Club  has been in Hong Kong for more than 10 years? To be in business for more than a decade - that’s a good sign of stability. Over the years, Sideways Driving Club  has also increased the number of their cars and to date, they now have over 50 cars to offer to patrons, more than any other center in Hong Kong. With that many cars, it also means that they also offer the largest selection of tracks - more than 200. That’s way more than any other sim center in the city. Fifteen (15) people can all race against one another at the same - now this is pretty unique only to Sideways Driving Club . No other simulator center can even offer anything close! And to cap everything off, they have a fully licensed bar and catering. This is part of Sideways Driving Club’s forward thinking especially for valued customers.


PRDADouglasPhoto-20150121021203147.jpegTip From PRDA Asia: Better PR Through Growth Hacking
Entrepreneurs know by heart the importance of PR. It can either help make or break a business. PR should be incorporated in just about every business plan or marketing strategy. Undeniably, PR plays an imperative role especially in letting a business succeed and expand. These days, however, with the presence of social media, things have shaken up. PR “gurus” can no longer say they’re the only ones in control. Fierce social media aficionados can already post whatever they want, most of the time without any reason and without any thought of possible repercussions. Moreover, writers don’t just receive press releases and print them verbatim anymore. So what’s the best thing to do? Digital and social media agency PRDA Asia has a tip: growth hacking.

PRDA Asia Founder Douglas White explains, “Growth hacking is not true "hacking" in the sense of breaking in where you don't belong. It's about maximizing customer growth through process improvement, technology and consumer psychology. Growth hacking is about taking methods that are already known and fully utilizing them and, when lucky, finding new ways to combine them for great effect. The term puts a focus on stepping outside of your comfort zone and learning and using new methods in a smart way.”

Take It From PRDA Asia: Social Media Success Lies On Growth Hacking


Today, more than ever, social media has become not just an extension of people’s lives but actually plays an intrinsic role in people’s lives. It is now imperative to use and understand it really well. Everyone wants to become experts in social media. However, there are actually risks in becoming “gurus” and that the only way to see good, viable results out of using social media is by implementing growth hacking. Allow PRDA Asia explain further.

PRDADouglasPhoto-20150121021203147.jpegAccording to digital and social media agency PRDA Asia, becoming the best means people have actually created barriers to success because thinking can inadvertently become siloed. If everyone knows everything, will there still be success and change in the horizon? The answer: growth hacking.

PRDA Founder Douglas White explains, “Growth hacking is not true "hacking" in the sense of breaking in where you don't belong. It's about maximizing customer growth through process improvement, technology and consumer psychology. Growth hacking is about taking methods that are already known and fully utilizing them and, when lucky, finding new ways to combine them for great effect. The term puts a focus on stepping outside of your comfort zone and learning and using new methods in a smart way.”

So how do we implement growth hacking? Douglas White shares these guidelines:

1. Lose your ego. Always learn.
2. Redefine the end goal. Because seeing the end result through a fresh lens is critically important.
3. Write once post many. Create multiple versions of the same message and position it across multiple sites, times and geographies.
4. Know your apps. All social-media applications have algorithms running to determine what is going to get pushed into your newsfeed. Each one of these functions differently but has similar characteristics. Figure out which one works best where.
5. The Red thread. One of the most powerful tools for growth hacking is actually the oldest: SEO or keyword optimisation; or as I like to call it "the red thread".
6. Engagement. This is what sets social media apart from other media. The ability to have a conversation.
7. Know your target demographic. Growth hacking done well does not focus on fan numbers alone. Growth hacking is about targeting the correct customer.
8. Set KPIs and stick to them. Business is business and if you aren’t making money you will soon be out of business.
