Golden Likes awarded. Among the awarded is Wroclaw!

Golden Likes are prestigious awards given annually by the Association of Polish Cities and the Institute for Internet and Social Media Research for the best achievements of cities and their mayors in social media. This year the city of Wroclaw was awarded in two categories.

The awards were presented at a gala, Tuesday evening, during the 2nd LOCAL-SOME'23 Local Government Internet and Social Media Congress underway at Tarczynski Arena.

The Association of Polish Cities, together with its partners, awards the "Golden Like" prize to cities and their mayors for achievements in social media.

- Both the quality of content and community engagement, which together create effective communication in social media and online, are evaluated. All awards are designed to highlight the importance and impact of social media on public life and local government, the contest organizers report, adding:

- The analysis covers a period of the last 12 months of activity on various social media platforms.

Wroclaw was awarded in two categories. It received the Golden Like Europe award for "high reach promotion of the city abroad through social media using innovative digital tools and engaging content."

- We are very proud of the awards given for the communication carried out in social media. We treat the award not only as an appreciation of our daily information and communication activities, but also as a huge challenge - to follow dynamically changing trends, or to create highly engaging and creative content," say Radoslaw Michalski and Marlena Mazur from the Department of City Promotion and Tourism of the City Hall in Wroclaw, and add:

- As we constantly emphasize - the great strength of our activities are the residents. They are not only the recipients, but also often the creators of the emerging content. They share with us the beautiful photographs they take of Wroclaw, record wonderful video footage, and show a phenomenal perspective of the tourist side of the Meeting City. Thank you for that!

The second award - the LOCAL-SOME Love Golden Like - was given to Wroclaw in the "Video Metropolis" category for "best practices in creating and publishing content on social media."

Janusz Krzeszowski, head of the video department at the Wroclaw Agglomeration Development Agency, received the award during the gala.

- Thank you very much for this award. We are happy that the work of the video team has been noticed. It's a great pleasure to create in beautiful Wroclaw," said Janusz Krzeszowski, who received the award on behalf of the city of Wroclaw and added:

- Creating video is strongly teamwork: everyone puts their skills and passion into it. The difficulty in modern times is that it is no longer enough to provide interesting content, but also to know how to use it well in social media to reach the largest possible audience.

We create content for YouTube channels Wroclaw Tv, as well as Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, but it is shared on many profiles, where it reaches millions of views per month. We do daily news, but also reports, we love to record Wroclaw craftsmen and we also have podcasts and videocasts to our credit
