All the Instagrams
Marketing through social media is something I really love doing--see post about Weekend Edition--but it’s also something that I think comes so naturally.A few weeks ago, The Eagle’s music editor Trent Burns and I were talking about something related to social media. It turned to a chat about Instagram and he suggested we start an account for The Eagle’s entertainment, lifestyle and arts section The Scene.
With that idea, @theeaglescene was born. Aside from the initial photo from Trent, I’ve been running the account, posting pictures, thinking of witty captions and trying to gain followers. In the first week or so, we reached 30 followers and we’re moving at least +1 each day. I’m definitely researching how to make that little account grow.
I noticed The Eagle’s main Instagram also needed a little love, so I asked if I could manager that one as well. The EOC was super into it and over the past few days I’ve been working on it (changing our name, picture, description, posting pictures), we’ve gained 7 new followers. It’s not a huge amount, but it’s still beloved.
