From the weekly Success Insights series: Lessons from our Client Success Programs

This week, we have an important lesson on the value of positive community engagement!

We heavily monitor a retail sector client’s Facebook page, but recently our two social media guides needed a holiday*. So while our guides were away, we had to minimise the responsive work we could do in order to handle the out of hours monitoring.

Facebook Falling? Preparing Your Business for the New Social Media Frontier

How to reach a targeted audience through leveraging popular #hashtags

Case study

It’s a bit of a Monday night ritual for me – a glass of wine, Twitter and the ABC show Q&A hosted by Tony Jones.

The show is “live and interactive” and that means Twitter is alive with comments and questions, with viewers using the hashtag #qanda while the show is on.
