ENGAGEMENT

TOP 10 MOST ENGAGING POSTS
ALDI takes out the number 1 spot for the Most Engaging Post promoting their ‘Sleeping Bag Onezies’ in a competition post. The post received over 62K interactions with an Engagement Rate of 13.51%. This level of interaction is more commonly associated with competition posts due to their like-to-win, share-to-win, comment-to-win entry mechanics.
ALDI took out 4 spots in the top 10, followed by Westpac with 3 and Meat & Livestock Australia with 3.
POSTS VS. ENGAGEMENT
In terms of the quality of content being produced by these pages, Westpac certainly takes the cake in terms of the quantity of content produced vs. Engagement Rate. As you can see by the chart above, there is significant evidence of effort and reward – with Westpac posting only 33 times on their Facebook page this year (second least amount of posts behind Air New Zealand with 30), however securing the highest level of Engagement amongst competitors #roigoals.
