Share Rocket Partners with Tribune Broadcasting to Accelerate Social Media Growth for News Stations
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) October 29, 2015 -- Share Rocket, Inc and Tribune Broadcasting, a division of Tribune Media (NYSE: TRCO), announced a new partnership earlier this week to provide social media measurement solutions for 27 of Tribune Broadcasting’s television properties across the US.
Share Rocket, a social media ratings service, has devised a proprietary social scoring/rating methodology for broadcasters and digital publishers that provides real time actionable insights. Media companies use Share Rocket dashboards and data to manage their social media teams and to motivate and train individual on-air talent to maximize the impact of their social media posts.
Earlier this year, Tribune Broadcasting implemented the Share Rocket service in four pilot markets and saw growth in the overall social media performance of those stations, including an increase in referral traffic to their digital properties. Tribune Broadcasting will now implement Share Rocket to power its social media strategy in all Tribune news markets.
“With Share Rocket we’ve seen immediate impact on the quality of our social media activity and our competitive position”, said Tribune SVP/News Bart Feder. “Winning in local news includes winning at social and Share Rocket is an important tool for all of our newsrooms to leverage and enhance engagement with our audiences.
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Tribune,” said Share Rocket’s CEO and founder Chris Kraft. “Tribune is a news and digital leader in the broadcast industry and we are proud they have chosen Share Rocket as their performance measurement tool for social.”
