Two Twitter Accounts: DownTownCha & RiverCity Co Both twitter accounts are inter related to one another. Both promote RiverCityCompany. Each account does not serve a different purpose per say,
however their aims are a bit different. ..
+DownTownCha (2,869 followers)
DowntownCha aimed more at advertising and marketing events for organizations being held in Downtown Chattanooga.
Support extends to promoting performances by The Chattanooga Symphony at the Tivoli
Fundraisers at popular bar locations like the Flying Squirrel
Volunteer work at United Way DowntownCha has the more followers
compared to the RiverCityCo account-it has not gained more followers this fall compared to RiverCityCo’s twitter account.
+RiverCityCo (1,573 followers)
The account RiverCityCo is aimed at responding back to followers and loyal participants affiliated with their organization.
Promote local Chattanooga news as well as interacting with their followers.
Top and most consistent retweets are Mayor Andy Berke and Nooga.com.
+Twitter Account Growth Fall 2013 Chattanooga has roughly a population of 175,000. Combined twitter accounts total 4,442 followers.(This does not
take into account for same profiles followers for each.) With less than a 2% online following, there is great room for the
Company to grow and increase their Twittersphere. Among social media platforms, we believe Twitter to be River
City’s most important social media tool. For the most part, Twitter is a more common social media that
celebrities are known to participate with. Increase Celebrity interaction and participation to gain 500 more
followers for each account in a 3 month period.
