How does this represent “Excellence in Engagement”?
The numbers speak for themselves. Coming in second in engagement across the entire platform is the biggest benchmark we could claim.
Objective:
Bleacher Report’s @BleacherReport main Twitter account has one overarching goal that informs every publishing decision we make: to start and own the conversation surrounding sports. We want to be the smart, witty, informed character in the group chat, and we want to be first. This objective has made us the most engaged Twitter account of any sports media publisher in the world.
Strategy & Execution:
Bleacher Report implements several strategies that make it the most dominant and engaging sports brand on Twitter - and second on the entire platform behind Donald Trump. First, Bleacher Report is an always-on news platform. Though volume and frequency play a role, being first and being accurate with consistency is a tried-and-true strategy. Second, carrying a conversational voice that’s witty, informative but informal, and relatable ensures that millions of Gen Z and Millennial sports fans will see themselves in the content @BleacherReport posts. Lastly, giving social media programmers the creative license to take calculated risks and let their knowledge of sports and pop culture shine through sets Bleacher Report apart from other publishers by building flexibility and authenticity.
