We're in full swing all week with a major campaign. We expect to make some noise. This is an official campaign, and it REALLY counts.

The campaign release today is coming of a fellow fan's twitter account, and it is humbly dedicated to ALL Community fans. (Big shoutout to Team Community!) Without you, there never would be #sixseasonsandamovie. Here's the kickoff tweet: 

https://twitter.com/violincatherine/status/459044052336254976

Please tweet #sixseasonsandamovie at noon PDT/ 3pm EDT today. This campaign will be going on all week at noon PDT, every day through Friday.

Here are some links, but it's probably good if you schedule 10-20 tweets on Tweetdeck or Hootsuite right now. I'll redo the links today to match today's fan-released artwork:

NBC Community February 7th twitter hashtag

Hello, precious blueberries!

Well, even though our dear tshirt giveaway friend used #TheHungerDeans hashtag yesterday, everybody voted on it, so we're going ahead as planned.

Please share (#)TheHungerDeans on ALL forms of social media that you can! Thank you!

Here are the instructions, from Reddit (thank you @Ashuhr17!):

Twitter has been a huge part of our fan campaigns to show support for Community. We have had lots of world-wide trending topics related to community in the past including the #sixseasonsandamovie hashtag as well as our #Darkest timeline tweets on October 19th.

The season 4 premiere is coming up this week (finally!) so we are hitting twitter again to show our support. This episode features a Hunger Games-esque parody, so the hashtag we have chosen is (#)TheHungerDeans

Some Hashtag Best Practices:

• Trends are based on "breaking" topics. When something is being talked about dramatically more than before, it becomes a trending topic. So... Do not use the hashtag before Thursday evening. (An hour before air time)
• Spread the word, but if you are going to talk about it on twitter, put the # in parenthesis to keep the hashtag fresh: (#)TheHungerDeans
• Retweets help!
• Feel free to throw in a #Community or #SixSeasonsAndAMovie.
• Don't use too many hashtags. 1 or 2 is ideal. Too many hashtags and your tweet might get filtered as spam and not contribute to the trend. Same thing goes for just tweeting just the hashtag with no other content.

Remember: Nielsen and Twitter are teaming up beginning in the fall to use Twitter as a way of measuring television ratings. Although it won't officially help the ratings now, the network could have an eye on twitter already.

Love,

ViolinCatherine

You love me. You really love me!

VOTE and share: NBC Community February 7th twitter hashtag!

Hello, precious blueberries!

Here is a poll for February 7th's NBC Community twitter hashtag trending. Once we all agree on it, please share on as many social media forms as you can (at least 3 for each of us should get the word out quickly). I'll put the list of all the places I've posted soon so you can see them and repost from there, okay?

February 7th Hashtag Poll

Guidelines:

1) Please keep parentheses around the hashtag until 7pmEST on Thursday, February 7th. (Example: (#)TheHungerDeans.) Also, if you write in a new hashtag, try to make a brand new one so the high trending is maximized. I personally love #WatchCommunity, but we've been using that one for a while.  We can use #WatchCommunity and #CommunityReturnsFeb7 to spread the word, though!

2) At 7pmEST, please go nuts! Go even more nuts as the show starts on Thursday, February 7th on NBC at 8pmEST/7c!

3) SET YOUR DVRs for the show and watch again in 3 days.

4) GO GREENDALE, GO GREENDALE, GO!

Love,
ViolinCatherine

I'm too sexy for my shirt!

10/26 NBC Community Social Media Plans

Hi guys!

Listen, last Friday's hashtag, #Darkest401, was a smash success. We trended #2 in the US and #5 worldwide, for an hour or two. Plus, there were some AMAZING pretend versions of the unaired episode, and both Yvette Nicole Brown and Andy Bobrow tweeted their enjoyment of our escapade.

By popular request, we're doing (#)Darkest402 this Friday, too!

1) Remove parentheses only at 7:30pmEST on Friday, 10/26, and tweet lightly for an hour.

2) Tweet as much as you like, and RT other people's tweets at 8:30pmEST.

3) Only one hashtag per tweet, and we'll rocket up there again.

4) Until Friday, please share this plan on every social media platform that you can, OK? If you're short of time, you can use the links from the main website (2nd link below).

Here's the Reddit link:

FOR GREENDALE!

10/19 NBC Community Social Media Plans

TL;DR (with a big thank-you to Fringe): Tweet (#)Darkest401 Friday 10/19/12.

Guidelines:
1) Remove parentheses at 7:30pmEST (to preserve the power of the hashtag) and tweet lightly for an hour

2) Tweet as much as you like, starting at 8:30pmEST

3) Use only that one hashtag in each tweet. Any more hashtags than that will reduce the tweet's power.

4) Why not say hello to the ad sponsors?

Guys, the UK "Community" fan who put this together on Reddit is my personal hero.

Here's a link to the website, with all the details:

Also, I'd like to point out the lovely work that @SuperSarah33, @SmoochyDaisy52, @UhOhMorsheDios, and @Dramakim did today:

1) Scroll down to 10/18/12 and observe all the joy from the Pen Awards, which @Danielletbd delivered to the NBC Community cast today:

2) Here's @DramaKim's lovely turn, representing "Community" fans very well, in a @Vulture debate/cage match with a Dr. Who and Real Housewives fan:

Excuse me now, while I go die from happiness. Cremate me when I die, spread my ashes on the Trinity River in Fort Worth Texas, THANK YOU.

"Community" fans are the BEST IN THE WORLD.

Love,
Catherine

UPDATED 11/21/11: We have an East Coast-West Coast situation.

Some people are suggesting paintballs and purple pens. I'm picturing mailmen covered in paint; are paintballs durable? Also, I've posted the end of the Evil Timeline show to the right so you can see the origin of the beards. Maybe a nice goatee for Mr. Greenblatt will be a refreshing change for him? In the meanwhile, I will content myself by imagining goatees on all the executives' faces. I will try to keep this succinct. As you can see in the rest of the blog, that's not so easy for me.

1) I made a personal pledge to reach out to one college professor and one blog/news writer this week. If each of us did that, then we could get some inroads with the What and How of publicity.

2) Currently, we are shackled by Nielsen ratings, DVR within 3 days, and maybe itunes sales. Not DVD sales, and NOT HULU! This is weird for me, since Universal owns both NBC and Hulu. Also, I watch most of my shows online. Ads sell for around $98K, half the cost of other shows. This is all business, people. And I understand this! The advertisers need demographic information, so I'm proposing a demographic study of Community viewers. I don't know what the advertisers need, whether a professor can do this with a student, or whether it needs to be privately done. Please contact media studies/social science/PR professors that you can think of and ask what they think of this. Also, this is a hot topic, and any scholar speaking on the subject will probably find a wide audience. Win-win!

3) MUST READ (http://bit.ly/cAKfCF): large number of people in twitterverse plus moderate tweets helps a topic achieve highest twitter trending . Many of us on twitter are newbies, and our power may be fragmented by first-time use and confusion (I'm speaking from personal experience). Someone mentioned that we need to keep the total number of hashtags (#) or handles (@) down in any given post. Is it true that Twitter treats such posts as spam, and that they won't count them for trending topics? Also, there are SEVERAL hashtags in operation right now, and I'm worried about message dilution. Thoughts? Is the main one #savecommunity? #sixseasonsandamovie is also popular. I'm wondering if our tweets can be considered as an aggregate? Who would be able to count this; twitter? How much does a sponsored result cost in twitter? I'm personally proud of #luisguzman and @donaldglover for trending. Also, I look first to @Greendale_Love for inspiration and ideas.

4) Thanks to @andreastreeter, http://bit.ly/rCV4Rt, I am purchasing and tweeting advertisers who support the show, thanking them and using the #savecommunity hashtag. The show Chuck managed a longer life with product placement. On Mondays, fans went to Subway, bought some food, the wrote the show's hashtag on comment cards. Subway featured prominently on the show afterwards.

If you tweet, current advice is one handle and 1-2 hashtags a piece on each one. Like I said, I am a Newbie!

If you go to @Greendale_Love, @AndreaStreeter, or @violincatherine (if you search a major advertiser, like @Fiat, @Pizzahut or @OldNavy, you'll find many, many more tweeters of these) and scroll down to the broadcast dates (both real-time and hulu), we live-tweeted the advertisers. I've been up two nights in a row, all night, trying to save my precious show, so when I've had a little rest I'll put all of them up here for you.

5) We are in the embryonic stages of sorting out what our demographics are. I am aware of some of what an advertiser needs, so I trotted some facts about my life and buying habits to form an hypothesis. That is, that the average Community user is:
college grad, high HHI, owns computer, 18-45 demo, avid user of social media, uses computer for frequent purchases. I'm not sure what other breakdowns are important. I suppose race/sex?
@rerorerocandy pointed out that my hypothesis isn't including all viewer demographics. Along with @Greendale_Love, we are adding in college student, grad student, and straight out tech geeks. So, so far, Elite-Snobs + Tech-Geeks. I would like to know the other voices out there, and include them. I am not savvy enough to do this, so I'm just putting out there that we are an Internet-savvy bunch, passionate and vocal, and very eager to help save the show. By the way, we all watch a LOT of stuff on our laptops. This is a BIG plus, right? Who wouldn't want this group? Oh, right, we're misfits!?

6) What happened to CBS? Wasn't it a zone for sneezers and geezers? (Whoa, RIP Mr. Rooney, sorry). What's with this laugh track, cop procedural, eat bugs business? Also, American Idol, Blergh! #savecommunity! That is all.

Yours,
Catherine
