In honor of Valentine’s Day, the iQ team selected a few social media accounts that we love. Whether it’s a brand or an individual personality, each profile encompasses a different topic, industry and audience. Through thoughtful strategies and engaging content, they have all captured our attention and built strong online communities.
@FallGuysGame
Why we love it
Fall Guys—like many other video games—has a niche community of players. Its Twitter content speaks to this audience, using relevant slang and memes while also amplifying gaming influencers who are creating their own Fall Guys content. This strategy empowers the players, builds a sense of community and establishes credibility. Within one month of the game’s launch, @FallGuysGame was able to gain over 1 million Twitter followers and the account continues to see high engagement on daily posts.
