Social Media Outreach Overview We made effort to contact over 100 select communities. These were based on social media

platforms such as facebook, meetup and others. Selection of these focused on Bay Areacollege communities and clubs that bore relevance to the expo’s theme, exhibitors andevents. Sample posting and dialogue appear in the following pages. For a complete SocialMedia report, please contact Sean Bello.

MethodOur primary directive was to target any regional college communities with an affinity toApple/Mac and/or relevant subject matter. Examples are: local Mac Users Groups, Appleclubs, App Developers, Computer-related college depts., digital art/photography/filmcommunities. Local music scene communities and artist-specific communities (such as SouthPark). Second to this we sought tie-ins relevant to the expo’s content such as music. Wesought activation via partnering and outreach versus postings. In some cases, thecommunity didn’t even offer access to a post-friendly environment so partnering was key.One such case was an inner-office memo at the Stanford University’s bookstore whoseApple+Mac dept. was pleased to receive our offer. Our offer included coupon codes to theevent. We have found that generally, postings are less credible no matter how tactful or ontopic. As a result, postings were always a second course of action and we strive tocustomize and draft these with tact and sensitivity to the community. We are pleased withour success both via partnering where community moderators ran with our message or didour bidding and postings that were responded to favorably.
