Estimated reading time 2 minutes, 45 seconds.

On Tuesday, April 22, the Vertical Magazine page on Facebook surpassed 100,000 page likes, setting a new record for social media in the helicopter industry.
Beginning on April 8, when our page achieved 90,000 page likes, we invited our fans to join us in celebrating the helicopter industry through a unique “Countdown to 100,000 Likes” promotion. Every 1,000 page likes, we posted a new photo highlighting a different sector of the helicopter industry, and encouraged fans to post a photo or comment related to that sector.
For each photo, we selected one lucky commenter to receive a custom Vertical jacket. Once we surpassed 100,000 page likes, we entered every commenter into a random draw for our US$500 grand prize. We’re pleased to announce that the randomly selected winner of that grand prize is Billi McNary, who posted a comment related to the air medical sector.
Our 10 jacket winners, announced as the contest progressed, are Ryan J. Wullschleger, Lindsay Lanphere, Andrew Reuther, Brent Keeler, Zac K. Risinger, Diane Abela, Jonathan Droddy, Colin Page, Micahel Smith, and Zane Adams.
“The response to the contest was absolutely incredible,” said Vertical publisher Mike Reyno. “We had a great time seeing the variety of photos and stories submitted from members of the helicopter industry around the world, and we hope our fans enjoyed it as much as we did.”
He added, “Social media has been a terrific way for us to engage with the industry, and we look forward to sharing more exclusive photos, stories, and videos with our followers, new and old.”
Stay tuned for more promotions from Vertical on Facebook (www.facebook.com/verticalmag), Twitter (@verticalmag), and Instagram (@verticalmag). Also be sure to enter our weekly photo contests by posting a photo to our Timeline on Facebook, or by sharing photos on Twitter or Instagram with a mention of us or the hashtag #verticalmag.
