Conclusion:  The  campaign  was  highly  successful  in  attracting  the  overwhelming  majority  of  current  shareholders  to  onboard  the  corporate  Social  Profiles.  Once  on-­‐boarded  the  company  leveraged  these  profiles  to  engage  with  these  shareholders  and  seek  out  new  potential  shareholders  as  well.  During  this  engagement  period  we  increased  the  shareholder  base  by  more  than  100%.  Additionally,  the  company  leveraged  Social  Media  outlets  to  release  corporate  messages  including  CEO  blogs.  These  posts  were  highly  engaged  and  created  very  positive  sentiment  as  well  as  a  thriving  digital  community.  The  results  show  that  investors  are  more  likely  to  increase  their  stake  in  the  company  in  some  cases  by  100%  when  properly  engaged.  These  investors  are  also  more  likely  to  weather  a  “bad  storm”  when  company  has  headwinds.  Most  importantly  we  found  that  this  strategy  has  been  highly  successful  in  recruiting  new  shareholders  from  companies  in  similar  sectors.  All  of  these  shareholders  are  categorized  as  long  term  holders.    To  learn  more  about  leveraging  Social  Media  to  engage  with  your  shareholders  give  us  a  call.  Our  demo  will  take  less  than  15  minutes.    Bill  Stuart  Chief  Marketing  Officer  646  780  8126
