When to use this template
When suggesting something for social sharing, use this template to create a draft tweet or toot (for Mastodon). Also consider images, gifs or emoji. Note that Twitter’s algorithm prioritizes tweets with images or video.
Add a link to your draft tweet to column J of the communications calendar (not shared publicly).
This helps the communications coordinator by clearly providing basic facts. It also acts as the basis for a conversation about the best possible hook, timing of your tweet, or other communications activity we can plan around your thing.
