In a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the successful promotion of summer fireworks events and the growth of social media engagement, particularly on Instagram and TikTok. The fireworks schedule, which is set for a Wednesday to avoid clashing with a city event on the bay side, has generated significant excitement among the community, as evidenced by positive social media posts.
The meeting revealed that video content continues to dominate engagement metrics, with a notable 30.4% increase in Instagram audience growth in May compared to the previous month. This surge is attributed to the effective use of humor and collaboration with local island partners in their promotional strategies.
On TikTok, the efforts have also paid off, with the platform reaching over 100,000 followers as of June 7. Officials expressed gratitude to the island partners who contributed to this success, emphasizing the importance of community collaboration in their outreach initiatives. The meeting concluded with commendations for the team's hard work and the positive impact of their social media campaigns.
