Twiber accounts -‐ Research Aaer doing research we came up with a solu.on that would work for all current programs along with new programs as well.SBC requirements for a consistent twiAer strategy for each program: -‐ One twiAer account for each program/city. -‐ Short username -‐ Usable for each city or ver.cal program -‐ Suitable for future programs as well -‐ Include SBC ini.als or the Startupbootcamp name.
Example new SBC twiber account For ci.es who are doing horizontal programs as well as ver.cal programs (like Amsterdam), a good solu.on is to have one twiAer account to build an audience. They have the possibility to change their visible name, when they plan to run a ver.cal program. Your full name
Your username
Sbootcamp Berlin @sbcBerlin #sbcBerlin
Same SBC icon for every account, to be consistent and increase brand awareness.
