A consultant’s update on the Clinton City’s social media efforts shows some gains.  In 2019 Clinton City leaders contracted with Fourge Social to operate Clinton City Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.  The firm is based in Dubuque, Iowa consulting various entities on social media use.

Jessica Flagel of Fourge Social said the city’s following on the three platforms have increased.

 

The social media consultant says they promoted various aspects for the city including public information about the census, shop local and other topics.  Choose Clinton Iowa is the name for each of the city’s i-d on each of the platforms.

Flagel encourage city officials to share content with the Clinton, Iowa sites, engaging with the page with likes and shares and invite your friends to like the pages.

The city’s Facebook page finished 2020 with about 27-hundred fans and about half of those came in 2020.  On Twitter the year ended with 168 followers and 90 of those came in 2020.  On Instagram the year ended the year with about 400 fans and 130 came in 2020.  Flagel says the engagement rate on each of the platforms were typically above average.
