From time to time, people ask me which radio personalities are killing it on social media. It’s a difficult question to answer, because social media success isn’t just a matter of attracting the most followers or racking up the most likes or comments. It really depends on how social media fits into your overall digital strategy and the ROI that it provides.
Moreover, what works for one DJ may not work for another for any number of reasons, including different personalities and different audiences. That’s why I recommend looking at the social media feeds for a lot of different broadcasters to see what inspires you.
Below, I have compiled a list of radio shows and personalities from around the country and provided links to their social media accounts. While all of these folks are fantastic broadcasters, I did not choose them because they are doing social media the “right” way. Instead, I tried to include a wide variety of people from different formats, different backgrounds, and different parts of the country.
Spend some time perusing their feeds and asking yourself:
- What are they doing that I like?
- Could I borrow any ideas?
- Would these posts resonate with my audience?
My hope is that you can gain some inspiration from your colleagues.
