National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Social Media Foundation at NASA According to the National Aeronautics and Space Act (Pub. L. No. 111-314, 124 Stat. 3328 [Dec. 18, 2010]): • Sec. 20112 (a) The Administration, in order to carry out the purpose of this Act, shall— – (3) provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof National Aeronautics and Space Administration
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Simply put… WE WANT TO SHARE AS MUCH ABOUT NASA AS POSSIBLE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia But, Why Wouldn’t We Want To Share?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia WHO ARE WE TRYING TO REACH?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia NASA’s social footprint continues to grow over 130+ million total followers across all accounts and platforms. NASA has the most followers of any agency/department in the federal government on:
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Our Social Media Universe Today… Instagram • 1.7 M followers (End of FY14) • 5.3 M followers (End of FY15) • 11.9 M followers (End of FY16) • 27.6 M followers (End of FY 17) Twitter • 7.5 M followers (End of FY14) • 12.8 M followers (End of FY15) • 16.1 M followers (End of FY16) • 26.4 M followers (End of FY17) Facebook • 7.6 M likes (End of FY14) • 12.8 M likes (End of FY15) • 15.7 M likes (End of FY16) • 20.6 M likes (End of FY17) @NASA is the 54th most followed Twitter account (as of 09/25/2017) @NASA is the 48th most followed Instagram account (as of 09/25/2017)
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Think Mobile • 61% of NASA’s social media posts are viewed on a mobile device • 56% of NASA’s social media posts are viewed on a computer • Overlap means people are viewing it on both • Meaning, 44% of people NEVER see it on a big screen! • Think: How will this look on a 3 inch screen?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Think Global • 41% of our audience is in the US • Nearly 52% of our U.S. audience is in the Pacific Time zone • 26% of our audience aren’t using the social tools in English
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We’re Looking to Move From… Fans, Followers, Consumers AMBASSADORS, CREATORS, COLLABORATORS National Aeronautics and Space Administration
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia SO I’VE GOT SOMETHING TO POST…
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Now What? • Before you hit the publish/post button or send an update, we would like you to think about what you want to post. • To do right by your audience, to deliver the utmost value and receive the maximum engagement, there are a handful of qualifications that every social media post should meet.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia In a nutshell… • Don’t write for scientists and PhDs • Would a 6th grader understand your post? Would a 70- year-old? • Don’t use acronyms unless they are defined. Never. • Avoid NASA speak, all institutional-eze and jargon • Hashtags – Limit to one-two per piece of content & be very selective. Would anyone outside NASA naturally use that? • Social will change to We, Our, The over NASA, NASA’s, the agency, the center, XX Center, etc.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Make the Most of Your Post Text We’ve found that the most valuable content on social media—the content that gets the most interactions, engagement, and virality — is either educational or entertaining. Consider these questions to figure out if it is either: • Is your content interesting enough that users want to share it and post about it? • Will anyone really care about this content besides you or an internal stakeholder? • If you were to see this post in your social media timeline, would you pause to read or reshare? • Does your post add value for the reader?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Connect with Your Audience In many ways, you need to speak the language of your followers, and not your internal stakeholders. Consider your audience when drafting posts by asking yourself: • Will you be okay with absolutely anyone seeing this? Does it need to even be a social media post? Is this the best way to get this message in front of the audience it is intended for? • Is this post too vague? Will everyone understand what I’m saying? • Is this post too technical? Will the only people who understand it have a Ph.D. in the field? • Am I using acronyms, abbreviations or insider jargon in this post?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Just What Does That Mean?!? Always assume readers don't know anything about NASA, as even if someone is following your account, it could be shared with someone who doesn't. So, for example: don't just assume that ‘SLS’ is known. Write it such that it’s “SLS, our new and powerful rocket”.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Does it Stand Alone? Consider how your social media post will look in someone’s feed independent of it appearing on our account. • Does the post stand-alone? Is it self-explanatory? • Are followers able to walk away having learned enough to understand the topic? • Is it actionable for those wanting to dive deeper into a topic? Does it have a link for more information?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Avoid Common Mistakes Avoid making common mistakes in your social media posts. • Is everything spelled correctly? Does the post have proper grammar? • Is the link accurate? Does it click through to where you intended? • Is the link appropriate for the message of your social media post? Is it to a too- generic page, rather than the specific subject matter of your post? • Is your hashtag usage appropriate? Will your use of a hashtag make your post part of a bigger conversation? Is your hashtag only used by you as a branding element?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Another way to look at this: Can anything be added or removed to make the message stronger to your audience?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia HOW HAVE WE MADE THIS WORK?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We Make Conversations Happen • For the rollout of the President’s FY2016 budget, instead of a typical news conference, the NASA administrator gave a “State of the Agency” address at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. • Remarks served as internal and external reminders of the progress made and the exciting work ahead on an integrated agency- led exploration initiative that secures America’s leadership in space. National Aeronautics and Space Administration
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We Work With Influencers • Aboard the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Scott Kelly fielded questions from YouTube creators who sent in video questions asking about aspects of his Year In Space. – Hank Green from Vlogbrothers – Louis from FunForLouis – Emily Graslie at the Brain Scoop – Kyle Hill from the Nerdist – Henry Reich from MinutePhysics – Destin from Smarter Every Day – Michael from VSauce National Aeronautics and Space Administration
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We’re Structuring Content Around Themes • By creating story arcs around content and having all of our social media accounts join the same conversation, we can harness the power of the community to connect the dots on the work we are doing daily.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We Also Answer From Space Astronaut Scott Kelly on the International Space Station took questions from his social media followers during his Year in Space
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We Invite Our Followers In
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We Build Compelling In-Person Events Provide memorable & dynamic experiences with: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Access & settings with unique national facilities Connections Between Virtual & IRL Information and Content Speakers (More Mid-level & Junior)
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We Create Brand Ambassadors  Event participants come from local communities and go home sharing NASA content within their circles of influence  Converts casual space enthusiasts into collaborators who want to share what NASA is doing National Aeronautics and Space Administration
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Things to Think About • It’s easy to be a trending topic – how do you ensure conversation is not a flash in the pan? – Topical accounts help continue relevant conversation • Images & Video last longer than text – Updates are often fleeting, but visuals often sustain themselves in peoples news feeds • Be strategic – How does this social media post help further NASA’s messages/story? What does it contribute?
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Geographic Events • Remember, most of your social media audience isn’t local and can’t get to things • Is there a virtual component that is streamed or is the same info available at an informational site we can direct audience to? • Think: How do I portray this same exhibit/presentation content online? Don’t cause a FOMO moment
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Think Visual • Ensure it’s posted in high resolution on a NASA website • Post using a link back to that website so everyone can download the large copy • Ensure the first 30 words of a caption are clever and make people want to know more & keep reading the caption • If extreme vertical, be aware that many social sites will chop the top and bottom off upon upload
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Video Is Now King on Social Media National Aeronautics and Space Administration All these social media platforms now support uploading/on-demand video directly and amplify native video over embedded links
National Aeronautics and Space Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Video Thinkers • Think Mobile: These days, more social media posts are viewed on the three-inch screen than on a computer. How will this look on a 3 inch screen? • Think Short and Tight: Videos with higher numbers of views are rather short. Attention Spans are short. Will people start watching and tune out before I tell them what I want them to know? • Think Muted: More than two-thirds of video watched on social media never has the sound turned on. Is the video at least closed captioned to be 508 compliant? Is all the information being talked about on audio also available visually? • Think About the Start: Video starts automatically playing in peoples timelines on Facebook & Twitter. The first 10 seconds are the most critical of a video and should be extremely visually compelling – not bumpers, logos, talking heads. If scrolling through a feed with material from lots of accounts, what would make you stop & watch? • Think Inside the Box: Are all of your titles and captions going to be readable on a small screen? On Instagram, will it all fit inside of a square?

    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia SO I’VE GOT SOMETHING TO POST…
  • 21.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Now What? • Before you hit the publish/post button or send an update, we would like you to think about what you want to post. • To do right by your audience, to deliver the utmost value and receive the maximum engagement, there are a handful of qualifications that every social media post should meet.
  • 22.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia In a nutshell… • Don’t write for scientists and PhDs • Would a 6th grader understand your post? Would a 70- year-old? • Don’t use acronyms unless they are defined. Never. • Avoid NASA speak, all institutional-eze and jargon • Hashtags – Limit to one-two per piece of content & be very selective. Would anyone outside NASA naturally use that? • Social will change to We, Our, The over NASA, NASA’s, the agency, the center, XX Center, etc.
  • 23.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Make the Most of Your Post Text We’ve found that the most valuable content on social media—the content that gets the most interactions, engagement, and virality — is either educational or entertaining. Consider these questions to figure out if it is either: • Is your content interesting enough that users want to share it and post about it? • Will anyone really care about this content besides you or an internal stakeholder? • If you were to see this post in your social media timeline, would you pause to read or reshare? • Does your post add value for the reader?
  • 24.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Connect with Your Audience In many ways, you need to speak the language of your followers, and not your internal stakeholders. Consider your audience when drafting posts by asking yourself: • Will you be okay with absolutely anyone seeing this? Does it need to even be a social media post? Is this the best way to get this message in front of the audience it is intended for? • Is this post too vague? Will everyone understand what I’m saying? • Is this post too technical? Will the only people who understand it have a Ph.D. in the field? • Am I using acronyms, abbreviations or insider jargon in this post?
  • 25.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Just What Does That Mean?!? Always assume readers don't know anything about NASA, as even if someone is following your account, it could be shared with someone who doesn't. So, for example: don't just assume that ‘SLS’ is known. Write it such that it’s “SLS, our new and powerful rocket”.
  • 26.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Does it Stand Alone? Consider how your social media post will look in someone’s feed independent of it appearing on our account. • Does the post stand-alone? Is it self-explanatory? • Are followers able to walk away having learned enough to understand the topic? • Is it actionable for those wanting to dive deeper into a topic? Does it have a link for more information?
  • 27.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Avoid Common Mistakes Avoid making common mistakes in your social media posts. • Is everything spelled correctly? Does the post have proper grammar? • Is the link accurate? Does it click through to where you intended? • Is the link appropriate for the message of your social media post? Is it to a too- generic page, rather than the specific subject matter of your post? • Is your hashtag usage appropriate? Will your use of a hashtag make your post part of a bigger conversation? Is your hashtag only used by you as a branding element?
  • 28.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Another way to look at this: Can anything be added or removed to make the message stronger to your audience?
  • 29.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia HOW HAVE WE MADE THIS WORK?
  • 30.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia We Make Conversations Happen • For the rollout of the President’s FY2016 budget, instead of a typical news conference, the NASA administrator gave a “State of the Agency” address at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. • Remarks served as internal and external reminders of the progress made and the exciting work ahead on an integrated agency- led exploration initiative that secures America’s leadership in space.

  • 49.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Things to Think About • It’s easy to be a trending topic – how do you ensure conversation is not a flash in the pan? – Topical accounts help continue relevant conversation • Images & Video last longer than text – Updates are often fleeting, but visuals often sustain themselves in peoples news feeds • Be strategic – How does this social media post help further NASA’s messages/story? What does it contribute?
  • 50.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Geographic Events • Remember, most of your social media audience isn’t local and can’t get to things • Is there a virtual component that is streamed or is the same info available at an informational site we can direct audience to? • Think: How do I portray this same exhibit/presentation content online? Don’t cause a FOMO moment
  • 51.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Think Visual • Ensure it’s posted in high resolution on a NASA website • Post using a link back to that website so everyone can download the large copy • Ensure the first 30 words of a caption are clever and make people want to know more & keep reading the caption • If extreme vertical, be aware that many social sites will chop the top and bottom off upon upload
  • 52.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Video Is Now King on Social Media National Aeronautics and Space Administration All these social media platforms now support uploading/on-demand video directly and amplify native video over embedded links
  • 53.
    National Aeronautics andSpace Administration http://www.nasa.gov/socialmedia Video Thinkers • Think Mobile: These days, more social media posts are viewed on the three-inch screen than on a computer. How will this look on a 3 inch screen? • Think Short and Tight: Videos with higher numbers of views are rather short. Attention Spans are short. Will people start watching and tune out before I tell them what I want them to know? • Think Muted: More than two-thirds of video watched on social media never has the sound turned on. Is the video at least closed captioned to be 508 compliant? Is all the information being talked about on audio also available visually? • Think About the Start: Video starts automatically playing in peoples timelines on Facebook & Twitter. The first 10 seconds are the most critical of a video and should be extremely visually compelling – not bumpers, logos, talking heads. If scrolling through a feed with material from lots of accounts, what would make you stop & watch? • Think Inside the Box: Are all of your titles and captions going to be readable on a small screen? On Instagram, will it all fit inside of a square?
