The

(as	
   general	
   topics)	
   represented	
   the	
  
biggest	
   areas	
   of	
   conversation	
   during	
  	
  
the	
  tour.	
  	
  
In	
   terms	
   of	
   royal

   members,	
  
prior	
  to	
  the	
  visit	
  and	
  during	
  the	
  New	
  
Zealand	
  leg	
  of	
  the	
  tour,	
  Prince	
  George	
  
held	
  the	
  largest	
  SOV;	
  however,	
  during	
  
the	
   Australian	
   leg	
   of	
   the	
   tour	
   Kate	
  
garnered	
  the	
  largest	
  SOV.	
  
This	
   may	
   reveal	
   that	
   while	
   New	
  
Zealand	
   audiences	
   are	
   most	
  
interested	
   in	
   George,	
   Australian	
  
audiences	
  are	
  most	
  interested	
  in	
  Kate.

The	
  conversation	
  is	
  dominated	
  by	
  users	
  within	
  the	
  21-­‐44	
  age	
  
range	
   (82%).	
   Unsurprisingly,	
   of	
   this,	
   37%	
   (the	
   highest	
  
segment)	
   is	
   made	
   up	
   of	
   people	
   aged	
   25	
   –	
   34.	
   It	
   would	
   be	
  
reasonable	
  to	
  assume	
  that	
  this	
  could	
  be	
  attributed	
  to	
  the	
  fact	
  
that	
  people	
  	
  within	
  this	
  age	
  range	
  are,	
  in	
  general,	
  more	
  active

1. Sentiment'‘Royal'Tour'Australia’'
Sentiment' towards' ‘Royal' Tour' Australia’' closely' followed' the'

whole,' meaning' that' we' can' see' peaks' and' dips' in' sentiment'

A' massive' increase' in' sentiment' conversations' (both' positive'

of' sentiment' expressed' here' can' be' attributed' to' the' fact' that'
this'date'marks'William,'Kate,'and'George’s'arrival'in'Sydney'to'
officially'begin'the'Australian'leg'of'their'Royal'Visit.'
The'only'notable'difference'between'the'conversation'evolution'

when,' despite' the' massive' decline' in' general' conversation,' an'

However,! from! April! 16! –! 18,! while! the! global! conversation!
decreases,!there!is!an!increase!of!positive!sentiment!talks!and!a!
decrease!of!negative!sentiment!talks!about!‘Royal!Family’.!This!
may!be!due!to!the!excitement!surrounding!the!beginning!of!the!

low! profile! and! charitable! in! nature! (for! example,! the! visit! to!

Interestingly,! from! April! 19! –! 21,! while! global! conversation!

Using	
  Radian6	
  we,	
  were	
  able	
  to	
  	
  gather	
  a	
  ranking	
  of	
  
the	
  related	
  Australian	
  Twitter	
  accounts	
  posting	
  the	
  
most	
  about	
  the	
  Royal	
  Tour	
  (1st	
  column).	
  	
  
	
  
We	
  also	
  ranked	
  the	
  accounts	
  according	
  to	
  the	
  rate	
  of	
  
engagement	
  (2nd	
  Coloumn).	
  	
  
	
  
Our	
   main	
   goal	
   here	
   was	
   to	
   reidentify	
   the	
   most	
  
relevant	
   inFluencers	
   that	
   broadcasted	
   information	
  
about	
  the	
  Royal	
  Tour.	
  	
  
	
  	
  
When	
  calculating	
  rankings,	
  	
  its	
  was	
  important	
  for	
  us	
  
to	
  consider	
  the	
  following;	
  	
  
	
  
•  *Some	
  accounts	
  post	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  content	
  but	
  do	
  not	
  
necessarily	
   have	
   a	
   lot	
   of	
   followers	
   or	
   a	
   good	
  
engagement	
  rate.	
  	
  
	
  
•  **Newspapers	
   make	
   informational	
   tweets	
   that	
  
are	
   not	
   necessarily	
   retweeted	
   by	
   their	
  
considerable	
   audience,	
   ex:	
   @SBSNews	
   -­‐	
   a	
   TV	
  
news	
  account.	
  
	
  
Nevertheless,	
  they	
  are	
  credible	
  sources	
  that	
  people	
  
are	
  interested	
  in,	
  that	
  may	
  be	
  Re-­‐Tweeted	
  (RT),	
  for	
  
example;	
  	
  
	
  
@y7news	
  	
  
@channeltennews	
  
@smsnews	
  
@abcnews	
  
@9newsaus	
  	
  
	
  
who	
  are	
  the	
  biggest	
  inFluencers	
  as	
  they	
  have	
  a	
  high	
  
engagement	
  rate	
  and	
  produce	
  a	
  lot	
  	
  of	
  content.

As	
   they	
   are	
   not	
   of	
   Australian	
   origin,	
   we	
   have	
  
chosen	
   to	
   exclude	
   certain	
   accounts	
   from	
   our	
  
InFluencer	
   Rankings:	
   @britishroyal	
   (3rd)	
   and	
  
@clearancehouse	
  (5th)	
  (the	
  ofFicial	
  Royal	
  handles)	
  
	
  
To	
   create	
   the	
   ranking	
   we	
   valued	
   engagement	
  
higher	
   than	
   followership.	
   This	
   is	
   because	
   it	
   is	
   not	
  
guaranteed	
  that	
  a	
  Tweet	
  will	
  reach	
  all	
  followers.	
  	
  
	
  
The	
  biggest	
  inFluencers	
  are:	
  	
  	
  
@ABCNews,	
  	
  ranked	
  8th	
  	
  
@channeltennews,	
   ranked	
   5th	
   in	
   the	
   number	
   of	
  
tweets	
   and	
   4th	
   in	
   the	
   number	
   of	
   retweets	
   with	
   a	
  
lower	
  followership.

  what

  this

  for

reasons:	
  
	
  
•  We

  a

  or	
  not	
  
•  Some	
  inFluencers	
  are

  Australian*,	
  which	
  does	
  not	
  help	
  us	
  to	
  Find	
  out	
  what	
  is	
  the	
  Australian	
  opinion	
  about

  is	
  still	
  interest

  it.
