Most Engaging Brands on Twitter in 2018

Firstly, let’s take a quick look at the most engaged brands on Twitter in 2018 (based on average number of interactions per Tweet). This data, alongside my own knowledge of Twitter helped develop this list of high-engaging Twitter marketing tactics.

Shout out to SocialBakers for crunching this data for us.

Is Twitter Dead?

This is a valid question. Twitter has had slow and sometimes declining growth of monthly active users. They’ve only just started turning a profit. They’ve been slow to roll out new features.

However, we need to remember that Twitter is still the go-to platform for;

✅ Sharing ideas and information instantly

✅ Sharing and consuming breaking industry news

✅ Joining the conversation at an event

✅ Online networking

✅ Accessing difficult-to-reach people

✅ Customer service

There is one big problem with Twitter…

Your Twitter Marketing strategy is dead.

Most marketers on Twitter are still using outdated Twitter marketing strategies, especially evolved around automating hundreds of generic, link-filled, spam-like tweets.

We need to stop being robots and start being more humans on Twitter.

Now, let’s look at some strategies that will help fix that.

Twitter Marketing Tactic #1 Practical Advice List

Practical advice lists are simple, bitesize lists of actionable information. They work really well because they are quick and easy to consume in Twitter’s fast-paced ecosystem.

To create one, simply think of a topic your audience are interested in (related to your expertise) and share 10 quick, actionable tips.

Aaron Lee does a great job of this with his #Wednesdaywisdom tweets.

Twitter Marketing Tactic #2 Be More Human

“Be more human” sounds like a pretty patronising piece of advice. However, you’d be surprised at how few marketers take this advice on board when it comes to Twitter.

Being human makes your brand more relatable, more approachable and more, well, engage-worthy.

Twitter Marketing Tactic #3 Be Witty

Being witty or ‘funny’ isn’t easy. However, when you get it right, the results speak for themselves.

One of the best ways to be witty or funny is to talk about relatable situations or topics only your target market will ‘get’.

A great example of this is ADWEAK, they share a lot of funny, sarcastic, relatable tweets that only Marketers will ‘get’.

Twitter Marketing Tactic #4 Tweet About Culturally Relevant Topics

This kind of ties into tactic 3, but in this case, you don’t have to be funny or witty. What you do need to do is truly understand your target market and talk about topics or situations only they will ‘get’.

Vibe Tickets are a great example of a company that truly ‘gets’ their target market. Take a look at their tweets for yourself.

Twitter Marketing Tactic #5 Tweet Breaking News

Ok, this tactic isn’t revolutionary, but it still works like a charm.

People go on Twitter to share ideas and information instantly, especially breaking news. Next time you hear about a piece of breaking news in your industry, jump on Twitter and tell your audience about it.

People like Matt Navarra do this really well.
