For Disney, social media is a way to communicate the story of Disney characters, brands and franchises and build a relationship with guests. It’s an always-on Disney experience that our guests can access from any device at any time. In order to ensure that we are creating a rich and engaging experience, content is developed with fans in mind first. We also constantly monitor guest reactions, fine-tuning our strategy in order to deliver stories fans love in new and unexpected ways. This approach has resulted in high audience participation, including more than 800 million likes across the network of Facebook pages as well as more than 2.5 billion streams to date on YouTube and hundreds of thousands of followers across Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Google + and Instagram. Thousands of stories every month generate millions of engagements from Disney guests. In addition to social platforms, Disney also has a highly trafficked blog network designed to entertain and engage fans by adapting Disney stories and characters for a digital audience. A cornerstone of the network is Oh My Disney (OMD), which delivers original and shareable content through a variety of videos, GIFs, images and quippy editorial. Over 60% percent of traffic to Oh My Disney is driven by Disney’s social properties, creating a fan-friendly eco-system of smart, fun and shareable content. Disney’s social strategy delivers value to core fans and enables them to be brand advocates in their own networks. This creative approach engages fans of all ages around Disney, the brand they love.
