Follow on Google News | Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service keeps public informed using CrowdControlHQRescue Service uses social media management platform for two-way communication of incidents and safety campaigns on social media including Facebook and Twitter
By: PR Artistry Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service uses social media for two-way communication with residents and county stakeholders, including other fire and rescue services, local government, plus businesses and schools in the area. CrowdControlHQ was selected for the central management of its social media activity following research and a presentation from the company. Caroline Jones, Digital and Media Services Manager at Cheshire Fire and Rescue said,“We chose CrowdControlHQ for the level of control and analytics it provides. We wanted a platform where we could allow multiple people to post to corporate accounts. CrowdControlHQ does that safely and securely and it gives a history of all activity, for example, who has posted to what and where, information which is important for audit purposes.” Using CrowdControlHQ makes it possible to manage corporate social media accounts from a single point. Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service chose to have just one account for each social media channel rather than each fire station or areas of the service posting to individual accounts. This means it is easier for the public and other stakeholders to receive updates by finding, following and commenting on corporate accounts rather than multiple social media accounts for different fire stations across the region. Caroline Jones continued, “Social Media is a great way to communicate with the public. Where there are incidents throughout the day it is really easy, with the central control in CrowdControlHQ, to publish a Tweet or post a message on Facebook and to then plan Tweets for the weekend. Recently, in just 28 days we had 437,000 impressions and posted 168 Tweets. The management team takes social media very seriously and supports it as a communication channel.” Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service also promotes other services’ campaigns and champions national safety initiatives such as the annual road safety campaign using Twitter and Facebook, with links to a webpage. CrowdControlHQ is used to plan Tweets and posts in advance and then measure the success of campaigns using the analytics. James Leavesley, CEO of CrowdControlHQconcluded, “We have seen a variety of social media strategies emerging across emergency service providers tasked to drive communications objectives. For some, the emphasis is on single channel/multi- -ends- About Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service The Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service is led by the Chief Fire Officer and the Service Management Team (http://www.cheshirefire.gov.uk/ The Rescue Service responds to emergency incidents - known as Emergency Response (ER) (http://www.cheshirefire.gov.uk/ · 24 Fire Stations · 4 Community Safety Centres · 3 Community Fire Protection Offices · 24 hour service to just over 1 million people · 675 operational staff employed · 223 community safety and other support staff For more information please visit: www.cheshirefire.gov.uk About CrowdControlHQ CrowdControlHQ is the UK’s leading social media risk management and compliance platform built for enterprise.
