Swagger Magazine Garners Attention on US State Department's Use of Trending Hashtag #Swagger
TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2018 /CNW/ - Toronto based Men's luxury lifestyle magazine SWAGGER® is garnering unexpected brand exposure from the US State Department's use of the hashtag #Swagger. Since taking office in April, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has repeatedly said he wants to restore "Swagger" to the State Department. Pompeo has even started to use the hashtag #Swagger to promote State Department initiatives around the world. In a front-page article in the Wall Street Journal on Monday August 27th, it was even suggested that Mike Pompeo and U.S State Department misappropriated the #Swagger without asking. Unbeknownst to Pompeo and his team this activity has unwittingly brought a flood of attention to the magazine and its social media community.
"We saw a spike in keyword searches for #Swagger and wondered why," says editor-in-chief Steven Branco. "When we learnt it was the State Department behind the hashtag we were intrigued. Our values and presence which are important to a man's success are the same for a country's foreign policy."
Toronto based SWAGGER®, a digital-first men's luxury lifestyle publication, has been using the #Swagger hashtag for nearly a decade. Appealing to men ages 20-45, the popular publication chose the name when it launched in 2007. The publication aims to be the go-to resource for the ambitious, successful and influential gentlemen across North America.
