As the city’s pitch team take their seats this morning in Liverpool to impress the UK City of Culture 2013 Judging Panel, they will be confident of the support behind the city to win.

And you have been part of this campaign to Just Say Yes!

You all have helped us show the desires and ambition of global communities to get behind the bid. 

Since our campaign got underway in January 2010, Facebook membership has increased tenfold with over 10,600 members keeping pace with how the bid is progressing.

We’ve had over 24,000 visits to the site and when the bid left the city in May, you helped us show a massive 291% increase in Facebook “likes”, tweets that reached over 1600 people, over 1,000 supporters downloading the Derry2013 twibbon and our newsletter membership rising to a record  4,000. 

Your support and willingness to get involved has helped us say with confidence that backing the City of Culture 2013 campaign is the biggest social media initiative in Northern Ireland.

Thank you everyone, we couldn’t have reached this place without you!

Just Say Yes today to Derry~Londonderry’s bid!  #derry2013
