ROCOL DRIVES SOCIAL MEDIA LAUNCH WITH BRITISH SUPERBIKE COMPETITION

Determined to take industrial lubricants and site safety systems to a whole new level, ROCOL® has launched official Facebook and Twitter sites to engage with its growing band of customers and distributors. To celebrate its launch, the leading manufacturer is offering fans of its social media sites the opportunity to win two VIP tickets to a British Superbike Championship race day.

Representing its first foray into the world of social media, the new sites can be found at www.facebook.com/rocol and www.twitter.com/rocol. Here, fans can stay connected to receive regular updates on product news, forthcoming events, instructional videos, company announcements and blogpost articles that aim to offer advice on common lubrication problems and special offers. Alternatively, both sites can be accessed directly from ROCOL’s website at www.rocol.com

Renowned for being innovative in the field of industrial lubricants and line marking systems, ROCOL® will be one of the first manufacturers in this sector to use Facebook and Twitter to directly connect with its audience and the company firmly recognises its value as a communications tool.

“Social media now plays a vital role in day-to-day corporate communications and, determined to engage fully with our audience, we are committed to developing an active role in this evolving landscape,” explains Gareth Procter, Product Manager at ROCOL® Gareth adds: “By encouraging customers and distributors to engage with the brand in an informal environment, ROCOL® can ultimately enhance these relationships.”

For all visitors who visit and ‘like’ its Facebook and Twitter pages before June 30th 2012, ROCOL® is offering one lucky winner and partner the chance to become a VIP for the day and spectate at one of the British Superbike Championship race days.
