Key Accomplishments and Lessons Learned:
Hitting over 100,000 users on three networks: This quarter we hit over 100,000 users on three
different social networks- Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. The numbers continue to grow and our
communities continue to develop.
National Wildlife Magazines Photo Contest:
The photo contest drove an impressive number of page views from Facebook this quarter and
many of these page views did not come from any NWF page sharing it- so this organic traffic was
from the content entrants promoting their entries. This is truly tapping into the value of social
media.
Our First Paid Twitter Advertisement As part of the Clean Air Coalition effort to announce the
new CAFE standards, NWF was able to lend its Twitter handle for our first Twitter advertising
experience. Largely because we had the highest number of followers we were able to help
promote an important message under the promoted trend #fuel4change. The trend alone had
an estimated 46.9 million impressions with a 5.75% engagement rate* (this is defined by what
percentage of those tweets containing the #fuel4change hashtag were interacted with
(clicks/replied to/retweeted) this effort lasted for 24 hours and gave us access to overall Twitter
data on our account. If youre curious about NWFs Twitter audience- here is the breakdown
from Twitter Analytics.
