Editor's Notes
- Introduction: Thank you for taking the time to view my presentation on Tumblr.

- Tumblr’s Value Proposition: Tumblr gives users the opportunity to express their own ideas, interact with a greater audience and within an online community (and its also highly customizable to suit an organization or individual’s need. (Images from www.tumblr.com)
- Demographics of Tumblr: A large majority of Tumblr’s audience browse through the site at school and have no college or some college education, suggesting that users are typically high school students or younger college or university students. (Charts from http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/tumblr.com)
- Why should organizations use Tumblr? The three “E’s”= Exposure, Engagement, Experimentation Tumblr is a chance for organizations to create meaningful connections in the Tumblr community by interacting with those interested in the brand, the brand identity/culture, or campaigns/content that the brand curates. The potential for exposure is high for organizations depending on their strategies and who they plan on reaching out to, how and why. Organizations can also experiment in Tumblr, posting different types of content like videos, pictures, music, etc. and seeing which type increases engagement/popularity of the organization’s Tumblr account.

- It’s optimal to post at night and during the weekend on Tumblr if you are an individual or organization looking for higher traffic and visibility. Schedule content outside of business hours.

(ex. Tumblr and another organization = B2B, organization and a teenaged Tumblr user = B2C)
