famous television and radio personality with an impressive presence
on several social media platforms.
“We are very excited to announce this
collaboration with Cinémas Guzzo, one which will encourage and
reward active members of the community who promote local
businesses. One such citizen, Mr. Guzzo, will work with Geekco to
encourage and reward consumers who boost the visibility of local
businesses within the FlipNpik ecosystem, thus promoting buying
local and supporting our economy,” declares Mrs. Nadira Hajjar,
President of Geekco.
“More than ever, during these difficult times,
we need active corporations, such as Cinémas Guzzo, to help boost
the visibility of local businesses and promote buying local. Mr.
Guzzo has had a truly positive impact on the local economy’s
vitality. This collaboration is another example of Mr. Guzzo’s
dedication and should serve as an example for all other
institutional and corporate players,” said Mr. Erik Giasson CEO of
Geekco. "We are delighted and very grateful that Mr. Guzzo has
become such an important new member of our Good Corporate Citizens’
group,” concluded Mr. Erik Giasson.
"I am a proud member of the FlipNpik Good
Corporate Citizen group, as well as an active player in the
collaborative FlipNpik ecosystem. This is why the companies in
which I have vested interest, including Pizzeria Giulietta, Love
Food to Go, Ruddy Lad Co., as well as the 10 Guzzo theatres, have
signed up for FlipNpik's annual subscription. We will soon be
offering unique rewards to active users of the FlipNpik mobile app,
as to boost their interest to enhance the visibility of local
businesses. In addition, we are impatiently waiting for the
government to ease lockdown measures, so we can launch an even
wider array of special promotions,” said Mr. Vincenzo Guzzo,
President and CEO of Cinémas Guzzo.
"We need more commitments from major players who
seek to promote solidarity and the success of local businesses, and
have real leverage in economic development. We can all have a major
impact, not only on the local economy, but also on the overall
health and wellbeing of our community. And I am confident that
FlipNpik’s offer represents a unique opportunity and an effective
way for us to fulfill this role,” added Mr. Guzzo.
