- Per Brett McSherry:
- WordPress continued to drive engagements in what was another excellent week for DotOrg. Despite fewer campaigns, we focused on engagements and saw our engagement rate jump 12.4% or an average of 2.1% overall, above our usual weekly goals. Overall, we gained 543 new followers; however, with the recent Twitter (X) news, we did see a larger than average group of followers deactivate their account, with 383 followers removing their Twitter account. Most of the loss occurred on Monday and Tuesday when news broke of significant changes with Twitter (X). With 543 new followers this week, we finished at 2,199,254 new followers and are getting closer to 2.2 million total followers overall.
- The overall performance was strong from a campaign perspective. During the week, various 6.3 campaigns saw strong performances as our followers continued to get excited about this upcoming release. When it came to the top 3 campaigns, two campaigns, including the WP 6.3 RC2 announcement and a separate campaign highlighting the new Synced Patterns, drove a majority of the engagements from our followers.
- Here is a look at some of the performance numbers for the last week:
- Impressions: 322,578
- Engagements: 6,140
- Link clicks: 1,379
