How Damolade Helped

Using a special secret sauce of monitoring, engagement, and growth hacking tools, we curated trending content, crafted tweets, analyzed performance, and adjusted for the best outcomes possible.

We also researched and tastefully used relevant hashtags and engaged with followers on behalf of the brand.

“On Twitter, we encourage natural conversation and engagement between the brand and the followers fueled by a mix of original and 3rd party industry content. This engagement is what really helps give our client’s accounts that little differentiation in a saturated marketplace and boosts and sustains growth.” — Lisa, damolade social media manager

The tweets we published were a mix of industry curated content on the topics of college applications, financial aid, student loans, etc., as well as Make Me A Freshman original content promoting the brand. The split of industry content to brand content was 75/25.
