Solomons partners Meta to promote business

Business

THE Solomon Islands chamber of commerce and industry (SICCI) in partnership with Meta (formerly Facebook) launched a social media campaign yesterday to promote local businesses in the Solomon Islands, by sharing their stories of growth, resilience and connectedness.
Many have highlighted their journeys through their use of digital technology. The campaign, titled “Influen-shell” celebrates Solomon Islands’ local enterprise and their employees and showcases their diversity, adaptability, and innovation.
Over the coming weeks, the campaign will share stories of 17 local businesses representing a range of sectors – how they first began, grew and evolved; how they are using digital technology to further expand and build connections; and how they have adapted to stay resilient during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
SICCI chief executive officer Natalina Hong said: “Businesses staying relevant and innovative, especially online, is key to recovery from the global pandemic.”
