BTC wraps up successful Christmas campaign with jeep giveaway

Wed, Dec 27th 2023, 10:19 AM

Having wrapped up a successful Christmas Is On Us campaign, Ms. Darlene Brennen emerged as the lucky grand prize winner of a fully loaded 2024 KIA Sonet Jeep, courtesy of BTC.

Brennen’s name was entered to win the grand prize when she purchased a BTC fiber bundle for her dependent niece, Ms. Shandia Brennen, and both ladies were present at the Mall at Marathon retail store on Saturday, December 23rd to celebrate the big win.

Brennen was one of 10 finalists whose names were randomly selected to be eligible for the grand prize.

The finalists were invited to BTC’s Mall at Marathon store on December 23rd, where they were asked to pull a ballon from a box and pop it to receive the prize outlined on a piece of paper contained inside the ballon.

All finalists who popped ballons received a prize, but it was Darleen Brennen whose gleeful screams filled the store as it was revealed that she had won a brand new, fully loaded SUV.

Brennen will also receive free comprehensive insurance for one year, courtesy of Colina General Insurance.

Brennen purchased a fiber plan shortly after BTC’s Christmas campaign was launched on November 11th.

The lucky winner recalled that it was initially her mother who alerted her that she was a finalist, after receiving a call at home from BTC. She said her mother urged her and her niece to attend the grand giveaway announcement on December 23rd, just to see if she would win.

“I told my mom we aren’t going to win, but we will go for the fun, and by God’s grace and mercy we won,” a tearful Brennen exclaimed. “It feels like we are on top of the world. This girl [Brennen’s niece] brings good luck to me. My mom and I do our best to take care of her and I promised my now deceased sister that I was going to take care of her with everything in me. Thank you BTC, thank you Sanpin Motors, thank you to everybody, but I must thank my God because I need him with every fiber of my being.”

Carole Barnett, BTC’s Senior Manager of Marketing said she was pleased with the overall outcome of the Christmas Is On Us Campaign.

“It was just an excellent event,” Barnett said. “We started early on November 11th because we wanted to ensure that a lot of Bahamians would be able to sign up for our fiber services and our post-paid plans. Our finalists were all excited to be entered to win the Jeep with comprehensive insurance, and the individual who won today will be able to drive into 2024 vehicle debt-free.”

Continued Barnett: “BTC is so happy to be able to provide this type of joy to Bahamians and we are grateful to see that we had a happy winner, so we went into Christmas celebrating because definitely, Christmas was on BTC.”

Throughout its six-week Christmas Is On Us campaign, BTC gave away more than $100K in cash and prizes. Many signing up for services or paying their bill in full received Visa gift cards, gas vouchers, VIP movie tickets, gift vouchers or tickets to the Black Bottles concert featuring Rick Ross in Grand Bahama. Also, during BTC’s 12 days of Christmas campaign from December 13th – 24th, several prizes were awarded to persons who participated and one Samsung A54 was given away daily.

Hundreds poured into BTC stores to take advantage of its many deals, prizes, and surprises, but the main query of most customers was: How do I win the jeep?

Customers who signed up for a fiber bundle or a postpaid service at $64.99 or higher were eligible to win the KIA Sonet.

Just prior to Christmas, BTC also added more value to its “Always On” prepaid combo plan, which now includes 3GB of FREE data for TikTok, 3GB of data, unlimited WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, 500MB of FREE data for YouTube, along with unlimited BTC to anywhere minutes, and unlimited minutes to the US & Canada for seven days.

BTC has also added 3GB of FREE data for TikTok in its ten-day and 30-day prepaid combo plans.

Samsung Brings Legendary Artist Keith Haring Collection to The Frame

Thu, Dec 21st 2023, 10:00 AM

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global leader in the display industry, today announced the launch of a new collection of Keith Haring’s renowned work to Samsung Art Store[1], starting on December 1. The collection features 12[2] of the legendary artist’s most notable pieces from the 20th century, introducing his indelible legacy to homes across the globe.
 
“We’re thrilled to bring the power and vitality of this contemporary master to the Samsung Art Store,” said Seline Sangsook Han, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Keith Haring created a visual language that is recognizable around the world and we’re delighted to provide these artworks on a digital platform for our global audience to enjoy at home.”
 
Keith Haring, one of the most renowned young artists of his time, was a quintessential representation of New York urban street culture in the 1980s. Inspired by the street art that characterized the city, Haring began exhibiting his work in galleries and museums around the world. He also participated in social awareness projects, including literacy campaigns and anti-AIDS initiatives.
 
Samsung Art Store users can now display works such as “Radiant Baby,” “Retrospect” and “Untitled (Dancing Dogs)” making these iconic Haring artworks more widely available to consumers worldwide. The selection is also specially curated and optimized for The Frame’s 16:9 screen ratio.
 
"Working with Samsung Art Store felt like a great opportunity to share Keith Haring’s iconic artwork with a global audience," said David Stark, the Founder and President of Artestar, an international brand licensing and consulting agency representing the Keith Haring Studio. , "Keith lived by the ethos of 'art is for everybody,' and The Frame allows his work to enter the homes of fans and newcomers alike. We hope this collection will spark interest in Haring and his legacy."
 
Throughout his career, Haring produced art not just as a creative outlet, but also for the betterment of his community. He created numerous murals, sculptures and paintings to benefit hospitals, underprivileged children's groups and various community health organizations. His foundation is committed to working with museums, galleries, publishers and art education program curators to commemorate his work. Haring has been the subject of several international retrospectives and his work is featured in major private and public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and much more.
 
Since the inception of Samsung Art Store in 2017, Samsung has partnered with notable artists, museums and art galleries to make it possible for users to view masterpieces and invaluable collections from the comfort of their own homes. Alongside this collection, Samsung Art Store houses thousands of additional digital artworks from masters — such as Gustav Klimt, Kandinsky and Van Gogh — and digital art collections from major global institutions — including Tate in London, the Prado Museum in Madrid and the Belvedere Museum in Vienna.
