2.Connecticut Sun

Content- 4. They have about 4 consistent posts per game but their feed isn’t limited to only when they are playing. They are constantly engaging fans with interesting content. They have constant updates throughout the game on their Twitter feed as well.
Creativity – 5. They do so many fun things to get fans interested. My favorite now is the segment where JJ and the Thomas’ are dressed up as old ladies telling you why they love the Sun. They also have nice individual graphics for every player.
Viewership – 3. They are in the last third for viewership, but not for lack of effort, and they often interact with their fans and retweet their players.
TOTAL: 12/15

1. Phoenix Mercury

Content – 4. They are quick with graphics and routinely post 4-5 posts per game. During the game, while not as specific as Seattle, they do post game updates that make it easy to follow the via Twitter timeline.
Creativity – 4. They use the best memes.

Viewership – 5. They are in the top third in viewership and consistently interact with and retweet fans. They respond with witty comebacks or poignant memes and were overall a fan favorite when I asked my Twitter followers. Also, please look out for when they troll Seattle, it’s the funniest thing ever.
