SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
Our company uses social media to interact with the players and the fans. We use it to share news and messages with everyone that follows the Colts as their team. It is also used to share events that will come in the year. As an employee for the Indianapolis Colts, I would like to share some of the rules and guidelines that need to be followed by using social media: Respect everyone Be polite with everyone Help the fans that need help (whether with a question or purchase) Ignore Negative Comments
CRITICAL RESPONSE PLAN
An inappropriate tweet, picture or message sent from any @Colts social media account
Amber Derrow sends a memo to everyone in the social media department stating that they should contact the person that made the inappropriate post from the team to see if they can come to an agreement and fix the problem.
Then Amber Derrow calls the press to make the apology happen.
MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING RESULTS
Twitter, Facebook posts and Instagram have made a big movement by including the hashtag #COLTSPRIDE. This has made the team’s social media accounts gain many new followers to come and join the Colts nation. We expect to have gained at least 1,000 new followers by July 2016.
