"We are a product of our environment."Is what they used to say to. But, in these days and times the situation stands that we are a product of our social media engagement. Whether we are posting our status on Facebook, tweeting an article on Twitter, or posting a picture on Instagram we are engaging in social media. Whether we like it or not we are inviting people into our world, as they are inviting you into their world. As a brand a social media campaign brings about an awareness, a way to provide an environment for your product, which is your personal branding. Honesty, comedy, and inspiration is the best way to push your brand as people donʻt want to be sold, but if you can make them laugh, and inspire them your brand will be on its way, to social media engagement success.
For my social media campaign I feel it was a great learning experience on what people engage the most with and what they like to see. My campaign was a success it produced an awareness for the urban style of mind, which entails graffiti, street art, street photography, creative non-fiction, an overall urban style of thinking.

Best posts & why:
The posts that had the most engagement the most was my blog posts as I think some of them read like a movie. People love stories they love to be within the story and my posts that were written in a creative non-fiction way had that quality. I had views on Instagram but not as many, I just started that Instagram for this class so that could be reason as I was still gaining friends.

Most engagement:
The most engagement was the Creative Non-fiction post on my blog as it had an image that went with a story. It worked hand in hand as a scene was painted of that of the photo, so it worked. Also, painting scenes with words always does well when people have the time to read it.

A feedly article that had to do with the 5 Pointz artists having their day in court due to the white washing of the famous Queens graffiti spot called 5 Pointz.
