What’s the moment?
Live moments are the cultural events – local, national and global – that people talk about on Twitter. You can prepare for these events in advance to ensure you participate in live conversations in the most effective way.
Everyday moments are a great way to connect with users. These are the conversations people have on Twitter about aspects of their daily lives. Such examples are their commute, food and drink, exercise and many more. Your brand/business can lever to reach and engage them day in, day out.
Campaign moments are your brand’s advertising activities that you plan for and execute at specific times of the year. These particular moments can be used in conjunction with live, everyday and reactive moments.
Reactive moments are the unexpected things that happen in our lives that your brand can respond to (for example, the Suarez bite!). You can’t necessarily plan for them, but you can be prepared for them to respond effectively as they happen.
