Chris Christie’s online presence consists of being on
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and his own personal campaign page. On his Facebook page, Christie does a good
job of making daily posts. The page is activate and posts a lot of videos of
Christie speaking as well as talks about some of his accomplishments. The only
thing that I would recommend is letting people know whether or not Christie is
the one behind the posts or if someone is writing them for him. Their written
in first person, but some people may want to know.
On Chris Christie’s instagram page he has the motto of his
campaign, Telling It Like It Is, as a
hash tag in the bio along with a link to the campaign website. A large majority
of the pictures are of Christie out on the campaign trail. There is a video of
him talking with voters as well as a photo of Christie talking to two little
boys who are dressed up as Batman and Robin and this goes along with his theme
of being a President who would be a law enforcer. There is a picture of Christie
with his wife to show he is a family man and recently he has posted two videos
talking to senior voters possibly trying to convey that he is for helping
senior citizens.
On Chris Christie’s twitter page, he uses it to share links
and tweets about issues he is for or against. For example, he is against the
legalization of marijuana and he has been posting links to his YouTube page
that address this issue. He also tweets to inform his followers about TV
appearances he will be making. He also will share links so that people will be
able to see an interview he was apart of if people may have missed it live. He
also has one tweet attacking Hillary Clinton as well. I also found it
interesting that he still uses his other twitter page, which is called Governor
Chris Christie. He uses Twitter as a way for people to be directed towards his
YouTube by posting links to videos. On his YouTube page it consists of videos
of him speaking on the campaign trail as well as from the last Republican
debate, and commercials for the campaign.
Moving forward I think Chris Christie needs to make it know
through interviews and commercials to let people know he has more than just a
website. After looking at his social media accounts, none of them had a huge
amount of followers. Especially during commercial ads, the campaign staff
should have something that says “follow us on Social Media” and then have the
logos for the one’s he is on along with the link to his own personal website.
It is good that on all the forms, except for YouTube, there is a link to the
personal website in the bio. Christie needs to continue to stick with the theme
of himself being a President who would be a law enforcer because this makes him
unique. I would also encourage him to make know the things he has done well
with as the governor of New Jersey.
"Telling it like it is" is a suitable motto for Chris Christine that compliments his personality and his desire to be a law-enforcer. Additionally, I agree with you when you suggest that this candidate needs stronger social media to promote himself. Candidates using social media effectively show that they are more modernized.
