Zeta Interactive Launches Web Site for Friday Harbour; Provides Charity with Digital Marketing Services Free of Charge

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Zeta Interactive, a leading full-service digital marketing agency, today announced that the web site they designed for Houston Texas-based non-Profit organization Friday Harbour has officially been launched.

Friday Harbour, which is a non-Profit organization focused on serving cancer patients and their families, was originally selected by Zeta Interactive in January as a charter member of the Zeta Cares initiative. Zeta Cares is a program that provides charitable organizations with digital marketing services at no cost – including web site development, email marketing, paid/organic search marketing and social media marketing – to help raise awareness and donors, sponsors and volunteers for their causes.

As part of the selection process, the Zeta Cares Committee, chaired by Zeta Interactive CEO Al DiGuido and other senior executives from the company, carefully reviewed the charities that applied to be part of the program. Friday Harbour was selected due to the organization's dedicated efforts to alleviate the strain imposed on those fighting cancer by offering free lodging options for families, caregivers and friends of patients.

The new web site which Zeta Interactive designed for Friday Harbour is an interactive, dynamic, intuitive site, featuring everything from an upcoming events calendar to a live news blog to information on the organization to the latest social media features and much more.

The Zeta Interactive team worked closely with Friday Harbour throughout the development process to accomplish several goals for the new site, including:

• Providing easy access for cancer patients and their families  seeking solutions for their housing needs
• Inviting supporters and sponsors to make quick and easy connections to their needs
• Communicating the Friday Harbour story in a mindful, yet innovative fashion
• Providing interactive capabilities allowing for instant reaction and response from Friday Harbour staff members, volunteers, donors and sponsors

"Together with Friday Harbour, we were able to transform their website and define their true online identity," said Al DiGuido, CEO of Zeta Interactive. "The mission of the Friday Harbour organization is one that has truly touched all of us at Zeta Interactive, and with the launch of their new site, Friday Harbour will now be able to bring these inspiring values and ethics, and raise a new level of awareness for their organization in this digital age."
