Welcome+to+Week+1+of+the+mOlympian+Summer+Games+in+mCommunity!+🔥">🔥Welcome to Week 1 of the mOlympian Summer Games in mCommunity! 🔥

 

Ready to aim high, train hard, and go for the gold? Our first week of the mOlympian Summer Games competition is here, and this is your official Playbook with everything you need to know for maximum success!

Your Objective for this week is Building the Best Olympics Brand Search & Daily Digest for the Summer Olympics. Here’s everything you need to get started:

 

 

Week 1’s Objective

 

Your mission this week is to create an Advanced Search that you will use for the rest of this challenge. Using what you learn in the training and the resources below, create a search in Explore to monitor the Summer Olympics brand.

Once you’ve created your search, share it in this thread for feedback so we can all work together and create a great search to work off!

 


 

Workshop

 

The workshops are over now, and everyone learned a ton! Watch the video in our recap post here:

 

The product workshop Creating a Brand Search & Daily Digest is offered at two different times. Please register for the one that works best for your schedule*:

*If you are unable to attend either of these sessions, the recordings will be made available in mCommunity within 24 hours of the workshop.

 


 

Quiz for a Badge & Points

 

After attending the workshop, you must complete the assessment quiz in mAcademy to be awarded the credential and points for course completion.

(Note: Click the Enroll for free button and log in or create an mAcademy account - make sure you’re using the same email address you use to log into mCommunity to make sure you get your points!)

 



Resources

 


 

Share your Search String for Points

 

Once you’ve created your search, share it in this thread for feedback so we can all work together and create a great search to work off! Please copy and paste your boolean string into a comment on this post, along with any tips, tricks, or feedback about this week’s exercise.

Pro tip:  You'll earn points for both submitting your Boolean string and giving feedback on others' posts in this thread!

There is no bonus for “winning” this week’s challenge. The goal is to learn together and create the best possible search, which will score you points now and benefit you down the line when it comes time to create your report at the end of the Games!

 

Game on, everybody - we’re so excited to have you join us for this challenge! Don’t forget to share your Brand & Campaign search in the comments 👇

My thinking was to really circle in on a Canadian view/CBC, our officially broadcaster + hone in on the talking around LA 2028, while narrowing the search to mid-sized and above accounts by narrowing my reach,

Thanks for sharing that recording link, so helpful! 


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! 🏅

Great! Thanks for sharing :)

It’s funny to see you exclude PR from your search, Zoe - I’m sure that went against instinct 😉!


Built my search piece by piece using the brand names and variations, misspellings, hashtags, handles, the near operator, and filtered for likes, views, and shares ….

I initially used the AI feature, but what it spit out was too basic -- I am guessing I should have used a more specific and detailed prompt.

For handles, do I need to differentiate between a Facebook handle and a Twitter handle?

I only want English language results. What’s the best way to accomplish that?

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!

Welp, here’s my first try:

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.

 

 

@DEClarke Had the same thought about NSFW based on the near crisis situation with social media comments calling for a boycott of the games following the opening ceremonies.


I had to deal with a few issues this week, so I’m just getting around to the exercise. I am wondering if we doing this playbook from the view of the Paris 2024 organizing committee, the IOC, U.S. sponsors, or from some other viewpoint. It might help to narrow down search terms and how we respond to the ‘crisis’ in the next part of this exercise. I love the ideas but with this being the world’s biggest sporting event with 10,700 athletes, 329 events in 32 sports plus the Paralympic Games, it might be helpful to know a little more about what to include and exclude.


Trying to get to the top mentions of Paris 2024 here’s the baseline for my search… but I’m sure it’ll be a work in progress.

@AVO ISBA - If you’re getting really vague/generic results from the AI assistant, I don’t know if you really need to be super detailed in your first prompt. One of the cool things about the AI assistant is that you can use it to refine your search until you get something useful. The AI assistant does often have good suggestions if I ask for them, for example, I asked the search assistant which languages it recommended for me to include in my Summer Olympics brand search and it gave me a great list to start from (French, Spanish, German, Chinese (simplified), Japanese, and Russian) and when my search got unwieldy I used the prompt “I would like you to use the NEAR operator and wildcards to eliminate redundancies in the search, for example: Olympi* NEAR/5 (athlet* OR ticket* OR medal*)” - this gave me a much cleaner search and translated it into those languages automatically.


If you’re getting a lot of unrelated or nonspecific results from your search, you can take it back to the AI assistant to refine it. I found that some of the suggestions the assistant provided for narrowing or expanding my search were surprisingly helpful! 

For further inspiration I looked at my top keywords and entities surfaced in the Everything Cloud on my initial search, and used some of the boolean tips from those filters to create custom categories (for example, the 🚨 emoji and (enrichments.namedEntities(name:"paris" AND type:"location"])). The AI assistant is helpful, but I do find that I often need a few rounds with it to get a workable search. But I often need a few rounds with my own searches too, and the chatbot at least works a lot faster than I do 😅

 

re: your question about handles: The handle operator is platform-agnostic, and will return any document posted by that handle/username and depends on the other search conditions that you have set up. If a monitored brand uses the same handle on multiple platforms, and your search includes more than one of these in your sources, it will return results for all of those sources. 

That said, you can monitor any page/handle on X/Twitter without authentication, but Meta requires a business Facebook page to be connected to get access to Facebook data. Once you have connected your business account, you need to add specific pages you’d like to monitor to your Monitored Pages under Social Connections, and then you need to make sure that you include those pages in your Explore search to get that data. 


WOW! I have to say I certainly have my work cut out for me with creating searches. These boolean queries are going to be a gamechanger for how I build out searches for my organization. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge. Really great work, everyone!!!

I toyed around further with the AI Search Assistant -- and wow, it was impressive.


I created a nice little Bolean for mentions of Snoop Dog at the Olympics:)
