4. Tactics: tools, content TweetDeck/Twitpic on phones/computer. Twubble.com for more people to follow. Found & followed marketing partners, critics, other orgs. Taught, had artistic director tweet. Set up lists. Asked dancers for possible material. Mentioned marketing partners & colleagues during press mention about us all. Tweet-versed w/ a dancer’s personal acct. Mentioned Twitter presence on Facebook.
6. Results 176 followers as of 6/9 (137 in April; 693 Facebook fans). New followers are more active, influential. “outgrew” Twubble;Socialmention ineffective. Dancers/AD not that interested in Twitter. Neither are our dance audiences. Daily maintenance challenging but necessary.
7. What we’d do differently Follow feeds better. Begin experiment in slower time of year. Involve more of the company earlier.
8. The big ah-ha! Our followers- orgs and individuals- respond well to our AD’s insights & observations. Teaching the AD to use Twitter Organizing (paring down) feeds into lists the end.
