Edmonton uses social media to express Fringe pride…

At fusedlogic we’re very fortunate (not to mention proud) of the opportunity to implement social media along side the wonderful folks at Fringe Theatre Adventures (FTA) here in Edmonton, Alberta.  This year’s Edmonton International Fringe Festival has a fantastic line-up of over 150 shows.  Our purpose on this project is to show the rest of the world what North America’s largest fringe festival has to offer and by extension what the Greater Edmonton Region has to offer as well.

We’ve taken a crowd-sourcing approach to this exciting social media project.  In part, we’re inviting fringe enthusiasts from around the world to blog about their particular fringe experience.  The thought is, together we can express our love for the theatre, arts, food and of course beer regardless of location around the world.  We’re encouraging everyone to blog about their story at ShowYouOurBlog.com and together we can increase awareness for our respective cities, festivals, acts, businesses and lives.

This isn’t about us, it’s about you.  We’re just working hard to support you by building out the social media assets in the hope that you take advantage and enjoy.  Expressing your civic and fringe pride is as easy as sharing a photo, video, blog post or tweet. Here’s my ShowYouOurBlog.com blog post about yesterday’s Edmonton International Fringe Festival VIP party where I also share many of the ways you can participate.
