Last Thursday evening, over a hundred bloggers from various industries gathered in midtown to hear social media whiz Peter Shankman talk about how passion pays dividends, 
listen to product pitches from new companies 
and network with each other at the first ever Swagapalooza.

Heavy hitters Kathryn Finney of The Budget Fashionista and Melissa Meyers of AskMelissa.com, were spotted in the crowd. New commercial director Kevin Matier introduced the brand message and various platforms to the audience; his presentation was very well-received (the next day, travel writer Mike Barish tweeted “@voyagetv did a great job selling themselves last night”).

Marketing VP Libbie Rice unveiled our latest social media marketing initiative “Tweet Your Trip“. Bloggers were invited to tweet us their dream trip ideas within an hour of the announcement and a winner was to be chosen at the end of the event — the night before Tweet Your Trip would open to the public.The stunt was a huge success: tweets flew in to @voyagetv several miles a minute. 
After poring through many clevers tweets, we settled on a standout tweet from @Mom101,

and announced to mommy blogger Liz Gumbinner that she was the winner!

So now, Liz and Nate will be going to Spain on Voyage.tv!

Stay tuned for details of their upcoming trip…maybe some video of their magic moments…
