Social media is all about authenticity
Bring down your wall, expose your flaws, & embrace your imperfections. Radical transparency.
This year we were able to grow our Twitter followers by 34% (900 vs. 1,207). This is largely due to the work we did promoting industry-related news, upcoming Ad 2 San Diego and affiliate events, and providing live updates from our events Not only does it help us grow our network, but it helps us position Ad 2 SD as a thought leader and source for marketing/advertising news in San Diego. This year we started using Co-Tweet to manage the our Twitter account. Co-Tweet is a platform that allows multiple people to easily manage a brand Twitter account. This enabled us to quickly respond to our network (i.e. membership questions, events, board meetings) because we were able to collaborate behind the scenes and identify the best person to address the question.
When we would provide live updates at our events we used “hashtags” (ex #ad2ddtt). This allowed users that searched for the hashtag to find a chronological recap and user commentary from the event. This provided added value to users that attended. In addition, it gave users that were unable to attend the ability to follow along in real-time. This vehicle was beneficial for our Third Annual Ad2 SD Pub Crawl, where the theme was Twitter. Attendees tweeted commentary throughout the event with the hashtag#ad2ddtt. This drove awareness for the businesses we visited, allowed people to keep up with us in real-time, and enabled us to engage with our network in two mediums.
