Our social media and digital engagement strategy serves as a focal point for a community of people committed to and interested in the African American experience; while creating ways to interact with the museum through online conversations, programming, interactive stories, and daily educational content. We use social media with a focus on the social; create a virtual space for people to ask questions, consider issues, exchange ideas and learn from each other as well as from us.
#HiddenHerstory: This campaign was designed to uplift the stories of women from throughout history who have been historically left out of narratives. We created a social media toolkit for fans to help us spread the word and posted daily about contributions from women during Women's History Month.
Our social engagement campaigns led us to have 3.5 Million engagements across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and allowed us to reach even more through our daily content posting. We have some of the most active fans in the Museum field and we continually look for ways to expand our reach beyond our physical walls. We are able to connect the content of the Museum to what's happening right now and share content that matters to our fans. We look for ways to provide historical context on issues related to social justice, and highlight the contributions of African Americans daily. Over the last year, we have gained over 150,000 fans across our three most popular social channels. These results come directly from our ability to create fast, engaging, and informative content, about African American history and culture.
