Mashable listed 5 winners; what do you think makes a successful social media campaign?
Social media for content producers and marketers is a beneficial yet fragile creature. It can bring an audience close, or scare them away just as quickly if correct communication isn’t established.
The best social media campaigns achieve a few things. They bring together a group of people interested in the same topic or subject. Interactivity is typically a big part of social media, and the activities surrounding it should strengthen relationships. Personally, I think the best social media campaigns are ones that engage and educate while being spread through word-of-mouth without directly asking the audience for assistance in promoting. If a social media initiative is so great that your audience members are excited to tell their friends, without you asking them to, it’ll likely be a winner.
