"Post impressions for our
ROAM THE EMPIRE Facebook page increase tenfold from mid-May to Mid-June," observed NYSTIA Communications Strategist
Rachele Markle. "And between Mid-June and the week ending July 4th we experienced another 300% surge. Engagement is up triple digit percentages for Facebook and Instagram!"
“I'm thrilled to see the quick and enthusiastic adoption of #roamtheempire. The participants have given the social media team terrific assets to work with and Mower's creative team has worked its magic to turn them into compelling, entertaining posts . NYSTIA's media partners have been generous in providing ad space to amplify the cause campaign. We encourage the state's tourism community to be involved and engaged to keep the momentum going and growing", said Mary Gendron, Mower's senior vice president-managing director.
"ROAM THE EMPIRE began with member engagement, evolved with member engagement and it is succeeding because of member engagement' states NYSTIA's Bob Provost. "From the committee work to MOWER'S pro bono efforts to the membership support of over 80 organizations, contributed media and certainly the social team of Alana Gonzales (MOWER) and Rachele Markle, it all demonstrates how we are stronger together."
