Summer Came (And Conquered)

This past week I had the chance to experiment with the power of social media. The mission was simple: make a meme go viral. The meme was to be created and shared on Imgur, a platform used to share GIF and meme content. With over 250 million users uploading over 15 million images a day, […]

Bey at #Coachella: overwhelmingly awesome or simply overrated?

As many know from checking any of their social channels, this past weekend was Coachella. While #Coachella trended on Twitter throughout the weekend, social conversation centered around two performances in particular: the Walmart yodel kid and the highly anticipated performance of Beyonce. While yodel kid’s performance was universally praised, Beyonce’s performance sparked an internet debate. […]

Meme: 

 

Webcard:

 

 

 

Twitter Ads: 

Twitter Ads engagement and spend

 

Campaign Analysis: While I reached the Imgur goal of 500+ views, I didn’t get the engagement that I hoped for my tweets. Although my ad helped me get 1,531 impressions, people did not engage with the actual tweet. I think this is because my followers may have gotten sick of me promoting the same tweet because usually my Twitter is full of non-repetitive and culturally/news relevant content. Unfortunately, it wasn’t picked up by the influential accounts that I hoped, especially Domino’s. I think this might have been because I had to include the link to Imgur instead of just the embedded photo of the meme, which make the process of sharing more streamlined. I also think that Domino’s might not want to be politically associated, and my focus on the photo  of Trump and Clinton wasn’t appealing to them. I wonder if I would’ve posted the Imgur link with different hashtags if it would’ve gotten better engagement in the Imgur community, because I think it is relevant to them. Next time, I will create a meme that is more “newsworthy” and relevant to current events.

 

Final Engagement: 524 views

Un-Friending Facebook

In 2008, my mom allowed me to create a Facebook profile for my twelfth birthday. I remember it being such a big deal because all my friends had them, and I could not wait to start sharing pictures, posting angsty song lyrics as my status, and finally stop updating my AIM away message. That’s what […]
