Well done to everyone involved. It was a great day. Very pleased that @MDC_News is among top influencers. Can you please tell me more about this and how it's calculated so I can explain to colleagues? Thanks

Hi Caroline, glad you enjoyed it. It really was a fantastic day, thanks for taking part. Below are the definitions. Top influencers - those who wrote the most posts about #OurDay, whose posts reached the largest audience (largest reach) or the ones that generated the most virality (largest engagement). Reach - the number of ‘followers’. Engagement - number of ‘retweets’ made on the post. Hope this helps. Thanks Dimple
