You’re off to an early start @AKB Media! Getting it done before the webinars. I like that competitive edge!

This string looks very detailed to me.

Question: Do you think your string could be boosted by also including the 2024 Paris Olympics’ Mascot’s name? It’s name is Phryge.

Comment: I like the exclusion of NSFW social media posts; however, I wonder if it may actually diminish your search by excluding some of the attempts advertisers had at making their own brands go viral following the French Pole Vaulter’s meme-tastic moment.

Thanks, I went through the creating a brand search checklist then tried out the AI tool. It was kind of fun. That’s a good thought regarding the French Pole Vaulter - I forgot about that! Ha. I also didn’t know they had a mascot! Thanks for the feedback!

@AKB Media - is this the first time you’ve used the AI Search Assistant? I have been making an effort to use it more and it has really paid off for me, especially when I just don’t know where to start.

I have been trying it out! I’ve saved a couple specific searches for potential grant/funding opportunities and it’s pretty intuitive. I’m looking forward to learning more about it and just getting reps in with boolean in general. 

Try! 

("Summer Olympics 2024" OR "2024 Summer Olympics" OR "Olympics 2024" OR "2024 Olympics" OR "Summer Games 2024" OR "2024 Summer Games") OR

("Summer Olympics 2024" OR "2024 Summer Games") AND ("track and field" OR "swimming" OR "gymnastics") OR

("Summer Olympics 2024" OR "2024 Summer Olympics") NOT ("Winter Olympics" OR "Paralympics") OR

the “AND” always confuses me. I’ve read and did some learning about boolean but it still catches me when I actually go in and try it. Great first shot at this!

Good call on the French language!

Love this idea!

Agreed, same!

Tres bien! 

Try!

First time for me-- very interesting to explore and learn from! 

Following today’s webinar, here’s my attempt:

Ok here goes my elaborate first attempt, some research for keywords and some help from AI Search  Assistant

Notes: Facebook profiles featured include Olympics, NBC Olympics, CBC Olympics, Special Olympics. The official Olympics YouTube channel is also included.

Official Olympic social handles pulled from here, Summer Olympics sport list pulled from here.
Olympic language inclusions prioritized based on languages of countries by medal count.

Sample list of “trending topics” keywords pulled from targeted search against trending Olympic topics, with the expectation of expanding this section in particular if setting up ongoing monitoring.

Percy Jackson exclusions due to uncontrollable nerdiness.

First try after today's webinar: 

("Olympic Games 2024" OR "Paris 2024" OR "Olympics" OR "Games" OR "Athletics" OR "Sports" OR "Track and field" OR “Gymnastics” OR "Medals") AND ("International Olympic Committee" OR "IOC" OR "Team Canada" OR "France National Team" OR "TeamUSA”) AND (lang:fr) AND (hashtag:#Olympics2024 OR hashtag:#Paris2024 OR hashtag:#OlympicGames OR hashtag:#RoadToParis OR hashtag:#OlympicSpirit OR hashtag:#TeamUSA OR #TeamCanada OR hashtag:#TeamFrance OR hashtag:#OlympicAthletes)

Knowing that we can use !!Color Commentary!! to add annotations / comments to queries is going to be borderline lifechanging for me - can’t believe I didn’t know that until now!

Wow this one’s awesome, i thought i was the only one going bonkers with the query

You might just want to get rid of the OR which will throw an error ("muffin man" OR  NEAR (norway OR norweigan OR swimmer OR swimming)). Also any reason why you did not include hashtags in the query?

Hey Cristina, you might want to incorporate the social handles of Olympics from sources like twitter, facebook etc to get more conversations while also experimenting with the NEAR function vs the AND for a broader set of mentions :)

I have to watch the recording later because I was in meetings but this little tidbit sound awesome!

Appreciate the advice! I’ll make sure to include the Olympics' social media handles from Twitter, Facebook, and other sources. Good call on the NEAR function compared to the AND operator to expand the range of mentions. Thanks for the helpful tips! 

First of all, thank you all for sharing your awesome searches and feedback! It has been absolutely amazing to see you all putting in the work and coming up with beautifully creative searches

I just wanted to post in here that for anyone who wasn’t able to make it to the live workshops (or if you just need a refresher on any of the material covered), we have a recap post here where you can watch the videos of both the Americas and APAC workshops (well, you will be able to watch the APAC workshop there once it’s exported and uploaded):

Thank you to all who joined for your insightful questions and creating an excellent learning experience for everyone involved! Keep those searches and critiques flowing - next week we’ll learn how to use the base you’ve created for a crisis monitoring use case!
