Hi

 

Twitter:

Recommend we use this easy to type and to remember handle @chennaimarathon      The name that appears can be The Wipro Chennai Marathon 2012

We should share a calendar of tweets and content that the id can broadcast on a regular basis. Once the ids are launched we should go out and recruit followers and fans.

Hashtags: start monitoring running and marathon themed hashtags and start tweeting them to build awareness around the event.

 

Facebook: I recommend that we register a brand page thewiprochennaimarathon

There are two pages that show up on searching for Chennai marathon, which have not identifiable owners.

Wipro can help you with customizing the graphics of the twitter and facebook pages.

Chennai Runners twitter handle

But there is a few tweets on twitter search that show up when you look for Chennai Marathon, which possibly is by the awareness raised during the Hyderabad marathon, or by word of mouth.

Currently Chennai runners are not active on twitter. Inactive since 10 Oct 2011. Has 473 followers. Has not followed any other runners/ marathon.

Hi Neeti,

 

In line with our discussion on the twitter handles. The Mumbai marathon is known as SC Mumbai Marathon @runscmm. The Sydney Running Festival is just Blackmores @BSRF12

 

Apart from these the below are the Twitter handles of the top 10 marathons of the world (http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/event-editorial/the-worlds-top-10-marathons/563.html)

I think the older marathons have not included the sponsor name in the handle but almost all of them mention it in the username.

 

Warm Regards

No, Shahid. We did propose other names and went back and forth on this for a bit, but finally went with thewiprochennaimarathon.com
 
thechennaimarathon.com and thechennaimarathon.in if I remember right has been registered by Shankar Lal, and I registered chennaimarathon.in - Now, all of these can be configured to re-direct to thewiprochennaimarathon.com

Karthik, since Twitter and FB ask for a Gmail id to open the accounts can we go ahead and use any gmail account, is that ok?
