The Dem Coalition is off to a great start in 2019
2019 is off to a great start for The Dem Coalition. Let’s break down everything we’ve done below.
The Democratic Coalition’s Facebook page has grown to more than 386,000 fans, served 144.4 million impressions in 2019, and has driven 11.5 million engagements and 3.5 million link clicks this year.
The page continues to be one of the top progressive pages in terms of total interactions and interaction rate — and one of the most active, driving 3,117 posts already in 2019 and 13,851 posts in 2018 and 14,069 posts in 2017.
Here is a quick look at the numbers via Sprout Social already during 2019:
Impressions — 144,411,532
Average Daily Users Reached — 412,204
Engagements — 11,545,177
Clicks — 3,522,325
These engagement numbers become even more impressive when compared with similar — many larger and more established — groups via Crowdtangle stats:
(Note: There are clearly slight discrepancies between the way Sprout Social and Crowdtangle categorize engagements and interactions in Facebook.)
However, the Twitter numbers may be even more striking when you include our leadership team. For starters, the @DemCoalition Twitter account has served 68.7 million impressions in 2019 and has driven 3.3 million engagements and 348K link clicks while growing to more than 231K followers.
But then look at the numbers behind co-founder Scott Dworkin — his @Funder account achieved an astonishing 17.28 million interactions so far in 2019 and grew to more than 456K followers. Scott was joined by Coalition Chairman Jon Cooper’s @JonCooperTweets 256K-follower account which drove 5.70 million interactions.
Here’s how Dworkin and Cooper stack up against some of the top tweeters of #TheResistance:
ADVOCACY EFFORTS
All of the The Dem Coalition’s social media properties have been dedicated to driving actions to Congress. In fact, more than 115,000 unique individuals have sent more than 500,000 letters to Congress on a wide variety of issues — including more than 102,000 letters in support of impeaching Donald Trump.
