Juliana Paolone - Assignment 3

The Big Bang Theory is a popular American comedy television show that was first aired in 2007 on CBS. Going into it’s 7th season, the show revolves around five main characters: roomates Loenard and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers, ,mechanical engineer Howard and astrophysicist Raj. In 2008 a Facebook page was launched for the show. It has 27,651,936 “likes” and 296,787 people are talking about The Big Bang Theory on Facebook.

Their Facebook page does a really good job at keeping the fans interacted. It constantly has new posts with links to recaps of the latest episodes, sneak peeks or with lyrics to songs. They also using the technique of having their fans share a certain post if they are currently tuned in and watching the newest episode on time. I think that is a really smart way of promoting the page while interacting with the fans. They also give away coupons for discounts or free yogurt and things of the sort.

Recently, for Halloween they started posting ideas of costumes, and other posts with pictures of Halloween and links to other feeds since the beginning of October. On their happy Halloween post they accumulated over one hundred thousand likes and over six thousand shares. They wish their fans happy holidays in every holiday there is, which I find it very cool.


Overall I believe the official Facebook page for The Big Bang Theory does an effiective job of social media marketing because they engage their fans, they constantly post new feeds, and they are always being talked about outside their own page.
