Upon glowing recommendation and referral from someone who had witnessed its excellent delivery first-hand, the organisers of the National Conference 2014 called upon TRW Consult to cover the online and social media assignments of the Conference.

Confab 2014 took place at the National Judicial Institute, Abuja; and more than anything, the organisers wanted maximum coverage as well as optimal engagement on all relevant social media platforms.

Toward this end, the TRW Consult team created an official account for the Confab on popular online resources and social media platforms such as Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Nairaland and YouTube. They also provided Livestream expertise to ensure that the proceedings of the Conference were made available live to Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria home and abroad.

Social Media Engagement

Below are the highlights of activities, deliverables and achievements on some of the online resources that TRW Consult deployed to push out the messages of the National Conference during the duration of the Conference from March to August 2014.

Gmail

TRW Consult created a Gmail account [[email protected]] for the National Confab, which was used to spread the press releases and official statements of the Conference Secretariat to thousands of media outlets and practitioners on TRW Consult’s own list.

Through this medium, the team were able to send out about 400 such broadcasts on a daily basis whilst the Conference lasted.

LinkedIn

TRW Consult also created a LinkedIn account for the Conference to cater to the different cadres of professionals who subscribed to that platform. Through the LinkedIn account, they consistently uploaded press releases, official statements, side news and gist as well as multimedia files emanating from the Conference on the Internet for the Nigerian People to see.

Nairaland

Nairaland is the most popular online forum in Nigeria. As a result, the TRW Consult team ensured that the National Conference was eminently represented there.

The official account of the Confab on Nairaland was NGConfab2014 through which about 200 core messages of the Conference were broadcast to hundreds of thousands of Nigerians on Nairaland.

These messages were read by some 360,958 subscribers who left thousands of comments.

Google+

Similar feats were achieved on Google Plus, on which TRW Consult broadcast 335 messages of the National Conference. The messages were read by some 36,702 people, even though Google Plus was only an emerging site.

YouTube

The TRW Consult team also uploaded 69 recorded Conference proceedings on a YouTube channel that they created for the Confab. Those videos attracted 43,678 viewers from different parts of the world. The most prominent among the uploads was the speech of Professor Dora Akunyili, which incidentally was her last public address.
