NBA Cares made a concerted effort to expand their social media footprint in 2013-2014 and the results are impressive. The league reports increases in social media following across multiple platforms.
The NBA Cares Instagram page alone saw a 425% increase in followers.
NBA Cares is an outreach program addressing social issues with a range of programs and initiatives. The organization has raised hundreds of millions for charity since 2005.
The NBA Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility Todd Jacobson is thrilled with the attention NBA Cares has drawn on social media.
“We’re thrilled to see how many of our fans actively joined us in making a positive impact on the lives of others.”
Forbes reports the increases in social media engagement were part of the NBA’s goal to interact with fans, share stories and find ways the league can help better society.
