Thanks for mentioning me.


Hi! Thanks for the warm welcome. My name is Kathy Cline; I am a public information officer and social media content creator for the Arizona Department of Transportation. I really got into social media during my time at two radio stations here in Phoenix - posting breaking news on Twitter, stories on Facebook, things like that - but it was a team leadership change here at ADOT that really boosted my knowledge and use of social media. Our new leader is very knowledgeable about social media and what it can do; he’s encouraged and pushed all of us to learn even more about it and use it. It’s worked - our audiences are up across all platforms and our presence is poised to grow even more in the future.
 

💻 Favorite Platform: Which social media platform do you find most captivating and why? I find Instagram the most captivating, both for showing quick glances behind the scenes and reaching young people. 

🚀 Campaign Highlight: Share a standout campaign you've either worked on or really admired. What made it so perfect? During a recent visit to the Globe, Arizona area, I took some work-zone video of a well-known bridge that is being replaced. The resulting video has been used multiple times on IG Stories to notify people when project-related road closures are taking place. It’s gotten a lot of views every time it’s put up and really shows the bridge and area very well.

💡 Expert Advice: What’s your top tip for crafting killer social media content? Pay attention to other DOTs (or other companies/agencies in your field). Study their top content and why it’s so compelling.

🔮 Future Trends: What do you think is the next big thing in social media, and how are you getting ready for it? LinkedIn is growing by leaps and bounds. A part of our team is crafting lots of content showing our agency and what goes on with it; I think this will be a huge asset in showing potential employees and the public what we do and how we do it.

🧠 Learning Objectives: What are your goals for learning and achieving within our community? 1. Getting inspiration for good content; 2. How to read social media numbers and apply them to OUR particular brand; 3. Crafting content that is well-written and visually compelling (how to take better pictures/video; writing tips for different SM platforms)
