Pittsburgh Social Media Marketing Buzz #6

Hi and welcome to issue #6 of Pittsburgh’s Social Media Marketing Buzz. In this issue, we take a look at the local classic theme park updated and revisit rueVolution.

Making New Memories & Sharing Them

Summer time here in the 'burgh and that leads a lot of people to think Kennywood. Kennywood has been around since the 1800s and has plenty of history. IT could have gone by the wayside many times in its history, but managed to always come about with something new.

This year's new includes a revamped website complete with user generated content (UGC) in the form of KTube. KTube allows users to upload their videos from recent or past Kennywood experiences. It all culminates on August 29th with the Kennywood Film Festival. Can't wait to see your videos.

While you there, check out the Kennywood ringtones. Yes, that's two social media programs from one old amusement park company.

Igniting Teens - Follow Up with rueVolution

Way back in episode #2, we told you about rue21's rueVolution, a program that allows teens to share how they are impacting their community by submitting video, photos, artwork, poems or stories.

As a follow up, we wanted to share with you the rueVolution Gallery. The Gallery launched about a week ago and is full of submissions already. It is nice to see that a generation that is empowered through UGC is enjoying showing how they make a difference in the world.

IF you know a teen, encourage them to participate.
