Twitter as an awareness tool

Lately, we have seen how many companies and brands use Twitter to raise awareness and carry out solidarity campaigns. The power of Twitter is incalculable and there is no better way than to use it for a purpose like this. Twitter and a good cause bring us here. A while ago, we discovered the Hawersco and Auara campaign to bring water to countries in need. Also, we collaborated in the fight against breast cancer with the 25,000viajeras and we promoted the adoption of dogs in Mexico too. In relation to the environment, we also participated in the #Earthhour.

There is no doubt about the power that Twitter has as a communication channel. Also Twitter is really good at turning that content viral. We must not forget that, in addition to creating the campaign, it is very interesting to have later the historical Twitter data in order to assess the success and its impact.
