🏅 Ever Wanted to be the Communications Manager for the Summer Olympics?

Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to be an Olympian? Maybe not at gymnastics or fencing, but our mCommunity #FriendsWithInsights run campaigns and manage crises like Olympians! That’s why we’re so excited to host our own Summer Games here in mCommunity, designed to recognize your industry skills while you grow your Meltwater knowledge and experience.

 

What is it?

Our mCommunity Summer Games is a competition that helps you level up your use of the Meltwater suite and rewards your effort and skill along the way. The games begin on Monday, July 30 and run for six weeks, concluding on Friday, September 6.

 

You’ll assume the role of Communications Manager for the Summer Olympics. Participate in weekly workshops and challenges, themed around different industry use cases.

Nothing beats learning when it's spiced up with a bit of competition and some subtle incentives. :)


Those mCommunity crocs are so cute!

 

IKR? I always said I would never wear Crocs but then I saw these 😍

 

Excited to see all of you on board for this one! 🤩

Waah! I really hope I can still catch up with this competition!

Thanks for letting me know 🙂 🫰🫰🫰


This is so fun! I’ve been taking so many of the Academy courses anyway because my company is just starting with Meltwater. I’m very competitive, so this is exactly the motivation that will be great for me

Welcome to Meltwater and to mCommunity, @josieamon! I think you will find that if there is one thing we love around here, it’s a friendly competition 😄 🙌


Is there a leaderboard for the competition? I can’t seem to locate it.

I think they are using the normal leaderboard thing - but I’m not positive!

I'm not sure how this challenge leaderboard will work, but in the previous one, I recall seeing a leaderboard post every Friday until the final day of the competition.

I found it here: https://community.meltwater.com/leaderboard?period=allTime


Hey everyone, thanks for stepping in with that leaderboard info! We will be using the same leaderboard! The link shared by @AKB Media is correct. Make sure to toggle it over to Week (instead of All Time) to get an accurate idea of what the current rankings look like. 

And @Cristina Mendes, we’ll be doing the Friday leaderboard updates for this competition too! 😄


Oohh helpful! Love a bit of competition 😁


Actually - question how do the various points get added? I attended the workshop, completed the quiz and earned a badge, all in the last six days, but it says I only have 15 points?

Sometimes it take a second to refresh itself to see points. But it looks like you have more than 15 pts now!


@Inge - Yep, what @Maria Dehne said ^^^


The badges and points from mAcademy are awarded via API, so the calls need to complete to award the badge and points. It’s usually pretty close to instantaneous upon publishing the credential, but sometimes there is a bit of a delay. But it does look like your points have been awarded now - I’m seeing your total on the weekly leaderboard as 820 now! Nice work 🤩


This is a really fun one!

Love this mentality! 


I’ve just finished producing 25 advanced boolean scripts and custom categories (with the help of Meltwater’s handy AI assistant!) so I think I’m fit for this competition! Can we request Crocs in kids size? Asking for a friend 🤣

How fun is the AI Search Assistant? I sometimes just see how advanced I can get, even just on topics I am interested in in my personal life. ie. my home Rugby team!

I love that thing. It’s super handy! I’ve been playing around with it a lot lately!

That, and GIFs.
 

 


@Inge - I live for gifs! 🤣 I have so many saved that I don’t know if/how I will ever use them, but I just can’t bear to NOT have them…

 

For example^ 😂

I am a HUGE GIF advocate. I still can’t figure out how to post them here though!


@AKB Media When @Jacinda Espinosa is back I will ask her to record a How To video on adding GIFs, it’s becoming a popular questions.
