Per Brett McSherry:
WordPress had another excellent week. The numbers dropped a bit as we were up against the BetaBetaA pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 4 campaign the previous week, which drove a lot of excitement and more video content that offered good engagement in the channel. That said, these numbers are great. The engagement number of 4,549 is a higher-than-average number for the summer months, despite the fewer impressions/engagements from the previous week. We increased the number of link clicks to the website this week, which is a good evaluation that the content with clicks to the websites actually drove more traffic. We also had 710 net new followers this week, which is lower than the previous week, which is still believed to be Facebook reactivating accounts as the number of new followers all came from Facebook alone.
The overall performance was strong from a campaign perspective. During the week, several campaigns performed well, but this week belonged to the WordPress Developer social post, WordCampWordCampWordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress.

Per Brett McSherry:
This was a good week for WordPress dotorg. While impressions were down, we saw engagements drop at a slower pace, which means we did better with the content we had despite the fewer campaigns this week. You can see that reflected in the engagement rate from 2% up to 2.1%, which is above our target and shows the strength of the campaign performance. The biggest gain was in our follower count, which expanded by 4,859 net-new followers. This is higher than the average of 750-1,000 followers we’ve been receiving, and it looks like it came from Facebook. We did see some really strong performances on LinkedIn this week as well which contributed to the stronger-than-average follower growth.
The overall performance was strong from a campaign perspective. During the week, several campaigns performed well, but this week belonged to the WP 6.3 release of BetaBetaA pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 4, with the separate GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.

WordPress Social Media Amplification #7
@jpantanichanged the name of this task to make the language a little bit more colloquial prior to WCEU.
Social Media stats
WordPress again had a strong week this week. Highlighted by the positivity received from the WCEU event during the past week. We’ve been able to maintain high engagement scores from the past month at levels much higher than much of the spring season or even 2023 (around 4K average engagement in 2023 which is a 100%+ improvement for DotOrg social). This is partly due to the events for WP20 and WCEU and being so close together plus a strong commitment to focus on the events online with both in days leading up to the events and same-day posts themselves. Included in this was a live posting session during the WCEU Keynote event. The largest takeaway from the week is the success of WCEU campaigns. Even Twitter which has struggled to see positive gains this year with engagement following many of the changes to the platform in recent months had a 2.0% engagement rate during the WCEU event (2.1% average for all platforms).
The overall performance was strong from a campaign perspective. However, as discussed, the WCEU campaigns, and in particular, the WCEU Keynote event took the top 3 places for the strongest performances of the week. Those top performances took place during the live posting events for the Keynote over the weekend.
Inspired partially by the old GitHub ticket #22 that we finally were able to close, but also by the (unofficial, but attended by project leadership) enterprise day the day before WCEU started. Hopefully we can get some of those good ideas into the actual project!

Social Media stats
WordPress had a really positive week this week. It was expected to see an increase in impressions, with the added campaigns through the week but we actually far outperformed in the increase in engagements. We ran 24 hours of WordPress campaigns through Saturday in UTC hours, and as part of that, we had really strong engagement throughout the whole event. We gained 534 net-new followers over the week which was a 47.5% increase over the previous week. While we ran several types of campaigns throughout the week, our WP20 campaign took center stage and really was the strongest campaign all week.
The overall performance was strong from a campaign perspective. However, as discussed WP20 took the top 3 places for the strongest performances of the week. Most of these took place during the Saturday 24-hour campaigns.
Here is a look at the numbers for the week:
Impressions: 706,990
Engagements: 13,084

WordPress continued to hold steady this week. We gained 362 net-new followers over the week and saw some good results from individual platforms such as Instagram and LinkedIn. Twitter continued to see losses (-258) as more people slowly moved away from the platform. Despite Twitter, we actually saw some strong individual performances on the other platforms, which makes me excited to see them.
The overall performance was strong from a campaign perspective. We saw 2 different campaigns reach the top 3 overall for WordPress. Campaigns such as WP 6.2.2 announcement post on the release and the WordPress News campaign had the strongest performances for the week.
