An interesting set of posts sharing "top tips" for a day on park features this gem...

Interesting because, they're almost endorsing groups to go down single rider with the expectation of being grouped together - who wants to tell them thats not how it works?

People have been sharing their own tips. "Take your own food" seems to be a common theme

The most recent post where they’ve posted Oblivion’s drop about 7 times has me entirely confused

The one where they've made it so big it's now in space?

Yeah and they've tagged Guiness Book of World Records asking if they've broken a record

This is so much better the cringey posts they were doing a couple of weeks ago! This is genuinely great stuff by the social media team.

It's only passable because Brian Cox entertained it and replied. If he hadn't (fair chance of that), it would've been just as bad as everything else.

I’ve not really noticed any vast improvement since I last posted in this thread. I think what they are trying to do isn’t a bad idea, engagement and dictating algorithms mean a lot nowadays but they just aren’t really going about it the right way. Feels very disjointed between some of the usual serious promotional content and the very lacklustre attempts at comedy and memes, they could be knitted together so much better.

This one is going down well. The replies

Oh that’s a shame looks like they deleted that post in and replaced it with a new one

I'm not surprised. It was crying out for the negative comments.

I think they've got the hang of it now, this advert they've made does a good job of showing off the Oktoberfest event and accommodation special offer:

I mean, that is a pretty awful selection of video shots and music to show off Oktoberfest, doesn't do the event justice at all!

 

[Thameslink Rail]

Having taken a second look, yeah it's better than some of the stuff they did over summer but I agree it's still a bit strange. They could have shown people enjoying themselves at Oktoberfest (preferably with a Prost!) over some German music.

I'll let them use mine for a small fee!

I do wonder if it was shot during the week, in which case there might not have been that many people to film.

I don't know if it has improved at all this year, but last year I went on a Tuesday and Oktoberfest was pretty flat. You would have honestly been forgiving for thinking there wasn't an event on at all.

This YouTube short is pretty clever in my opinion.

Anyone been able to do it? I've tried a few times but my reactions are terible lol.

They have done a few of them now with smiler and oblivion, they are a good idea, gets lots of engagement and likes from people.

 

[NuttySquirrel]

4th attempt. Not a bad effort I thought!



I've been pretty scathing about the new social media approach but this sort of stuff is fine - simple and interactive, which gets a lot of people engaging.
