The Boston Social Media Team:

“The Cornerstone of our citywide social media strategy is the understanding that daily engagement helps improve quality of life, but it also means we don’t have to direct constituents to follow us during emergencies—they’re already on board.”

• Social Media Director - Lindsay Crudele

• Technology representatives from Boston IT

• Liaisons for each department, Police, Parks and Recreation, Fire, Operations, and programs like Boston Bikes, Boston Arts etc.

• The people of Boston

Newly-Elected Mayor Walsh inherits the City of Boston’s first enterprise-level social media program, a powerful, networked, coordinated, trained social media team leveraging the social sharing potential for more than 3/4 million followers.


Changing the GameBoston

• Boston’s Twitter feeds have amassed more than 2.9 billion impressions

• 90% of those took place within the past year

• In 2013 Boston welcomed 30,000 new followers each to both the @Notify Boston constituent service feed and over 30,000 @MayorTomMenino

• The City of Boston Facebook page follower count grew 200%, and its reach grew 400% in the past year



41

• Enterprise social strategy allows the city to immediately shift into crisis communication mode, should the need arise

• Enabled Boston to be more informative, timely and accessible during recent times that included the Boston Marathon bombings, a hurricane and a blizzard

• Founding partner in the beta launch of Twitter Alerts, which allows users to subscribe to elevated designation emergency alert tweets



42

• Partnered with Twitter following the marathon on a Promoted Tweet campaign to drive the launch of the One Fund; in just over six hours, reached more than 101 million impressions all over the world, contributing more than 500,000 digital donations totaling more than $5 million

• “SpotHoles” campaign invited the public to use social media to report potholes during winter: in two weeks, Public Works filled more than 2,000 potholes, seeing a 333% increase in the number of citizen-generated reports compared to the same time period the previous year

• More than 150 local musicians submitted to our #BOStunes social contest, a collaboration between DoIT and the City’s arts team, which will incorporate local talent into City Hall’s telephone transfer music


Working Together From the Inside OutBoston

• How? A strong externally-facing social media strategy starts with a strong internal one

• Enterprise social media strategy means departments knitted together across the city, breaking down internal silos to extend our reach and better serve

• Social media liaisons across the city represent a wide variety of skill sets, from communications specialists to subject matter experts, such as the City of Boston’s chief archaeologist posting directly from the dig
