The 2013 World Series kicked off October 23, and according to real-time analytics company Dachis Group, the first three games generated a total of nearly 300 million social media impressions.
Dachis Group also collected data across four major accounts for each team, and found the following starting with game one:
- Boston Red Sox had 4.94 million subscribers, while the St. Louis Cardinals had 2.01 million.
- The Red Sox posted 263 times, the Cardinals 240 times.
- Red Sox social media impressions totaled 110 million, Cardinals’ totaled 49 million.
- Out of those impressions, earned impressions were at 71.72 million for the Boston Red Sox, and 30.26 for the St. Louis Cardinals.
- The Red Sox had around three times more positive interactions than the Cardinals.
Here were the findings for games two and three:
- No real change in subscribers for either team.
- The Red Sox posted 167 times, the Cardinals 194 times.
- Red Sox social media impressions totaled 86.73 million, Cardinals’ totaled 52.84 million.
While the Boston Red Sox have a larger reach in social media, positivity around the St. Louis Cardinals has increased 261 percent.
During game three, there was a 50 percent increase in negativity around the Red Sox, which Dachis Group says was “likely driven by controversial coaching decisions and the umpires’ ruling in game 3.”
