Paparazzi, exotic food and white wine, were the order of the evening for the young couple as they dined at Chateaux Vino on Valentine's' Day. "I wanted the perfect Valentine's date for my girlfriend and Digicel gave us just that. The many hours of online campaigning that I had to do were well worth it," said an elated Sutherland.

Corporate Affairs Manager at Digicel, Jacqueline Burrell-Clarke, said she was excited about the company's social networking media initiative. "The daily interaction with our customers on Facebook and Twitter has been great. In just one week, our fan base grew by over 2,000 fans," she said.

Burrell-Clarke revealed that with more than 24,000 fans now on its Facebook page, social media provides Digicel with an opportunity to not only 'personalise' the Digicel brand online, but also to grow the company's Facebook fan base to be Jamaica's biggest online family.

In the 'DigiUltraLove Quote' Valentine's competition, the first five fans to submit their favourite love quotes by 10 a.m., were entered into a daily poll. The winner for each day was then entered into a grand poll at the end of the week for a chance to win a dinner for two on Valentine's Day.
