Christie has been known to have many good, meaning full tweets that ultimately allow him to connect with people. Instead of just pushing out "Vote for me" he pushes out meaningful info such as school closings that people actually would want to know and would want the Governor to know about.
With 7,000 tweets he is relatively active, with 506k followers, he has a decent following but would surly love to get that number up even higher. Christie also links to his Instagram that is also quite good and allows for multiple platforms of sharing.
Christie isn't nearly as strong on his Insta game but who really is? With 9,943 followers he is not reaching the massive audiences that many would hope, but he does show personal photos as well as good interaction shots.
Facebook is the classic favorite of most, but not Christie.
Christie does not do a great job with FB, mostly only sharing links and the occasional post, but by no means a flood of information. The positive is that he is on the three big platforms.
Website....he has not. Christie has the classic "Office of the Gov" webpage but does not have his own website which is team needs to get on soon to be able to attract people to learn more about him. This is quite surprising in this day and age.
There are good videos on Youtube of him being quite candid on Jimmy Fallon and him showing off his personality but the more recent video is of him falling out of a chair
when going on a radio show that is indeed, quite funny. Not great publicity, but it is publicity.
Going Forward:
It is a big deal that he is good at Twitter, it really is the most important at the moment. He is believed to run his own account and will contact people and interact making him very personable with his audiences. This is a great strength.
The things he needs to work on include, building a good website that is easily accessible and can show what he stands for and how you can help, as well as build a stronger presence on FB and Instagram.

Do you think that his humor would turn off some of his potential voters?
ReplyDeleteChris Christie has gotten in trouble before by making some controversial tweets. These tweets definitely get him attention and get people talking about him which can be a positive thing. Do you think this issue will hurt him in a presidential campaign?
ReplyDeleteYou do a great job of demonstrating Christie's social media presence here. He has a very personal and provocative social media presence. Do you think it is really him most of the time? Even as a cynic, I do! Maybe I just want to believe that since his account follows me..... :)
