invest the media

Chinese New Year – Feb. 2018
National Holiday – Oct. 2018
May Holiday – May. 2018
Summer Holiday – Jun. to Jul. 2018

planned, we look to
see what NYC offers

For example by observing the tagging insights we
learn that:
Category: Culture
• “Attractions” was the top performer, representing +87% better than average, however only used in 4%
of all posts published
• “Accommodation” performed the worst, -69% lower than average, however the tag was the 3rd most
used tag
Category: Content
• “Introduction” tag performed +134% better than average, but the number of “Introduction” tags used are
only half of “Tips” tag’s. And “Tips” tag performed only +24% better than average.
• “Greeting” tag was used in one-third of the posts published, but it performed -68% lower than average.
Category: Theme
• “Culture” tag performed +111% better than other tags, but it was the second least used tag under the
