#INSTAGRAMMING - UP Builders Show

MQT Social Scene went to the UP Builders Show on March 8. Instead of writing another article to be lost in the traditional coverage of the event, MQT Social Scene took to social media and put all of our pictures on our new Instagram account. The pictures were autoposted through the app to our Twitter account. This was all done in real time, meaning it was the most immediate coverage of the UP Builders Show ever across two different social media platforms. #Instagramming should be a regular feature of MQT Social Scene in an attempt to use emerging technology in the media market to more efficiently share the stories of MQT.
