Commenting on the campaign, Rebecca Jackson, assistant marketing manager at Dixons Retail, said: “Your Moments is our first foray into Facebook for Currys and PC World and we see this as a great, fun way of engaging consumers initially.”
She added: “Your Moments has been created as a place for people who have a passion for photography to share photos and top tips on taking great pictures. Photos capture some of life’s special moments and we want Your Moments to be somewhere people can discuss what makes a great moment and how best to capture it.”
