Happy new year to you and thanks for reaching out to ask my opinion about your group's plan for helping promote POET on social media.

 

I like the idea. A hashtag is smart. Please pass on my approval to your "POET Army". (My Agoracom account has been frozen or locked for some time so I can't post myself.)

 

Friendly suggestions:

1. This is another Twitter account to add to your friend's list: https://twitter.com/MoonMarket_/status/1612210059425026048

You'll see it asks each Sunday night for recommendations (this week is MLK Day in the U.S. so it may be Monday that you see the note from this account). 

It's on Twitter posts like this that you want to deploy your keyboard soldiers. You might want to start with that account I listed above (and the @unusual_whales one is very large and similar too. I'm familiar with it.) Starting a campaign on a Friday isn't generally a good thing. I'd wait til Sunday/Monday.

2. An image helps tweets get noticed. You might want to try a shot of a 3-month chart and the images from the POET account.

3. If anyone has the time and inclination, involving Reddit would be helpful. Someone in your group could alert the POET group there of the hashtag campaign and maybe get it in front of larger boards.

4. Be patient. Those Gamestop and AMC communities had grown to a million but they started with a small cohort -- likely smaller than what POET has. It can take a bit of time to get the mass. Good news is that the company's updates and expanded marketing efforts will be happening in tandem with your efforts. Strength in numbers, as they say. And that's especially true on social media where organic community-driven campaigns like what you're suggesting have done really well over the years.

 

Keep in mind that neither the POET account nor the accounts of staff/contractors can participate in your campaign (it would be against security regulations to promote the stock price). 

 

I wish you luck. Do check in with how it's going.

 

Best to you, your family, and everyone working in unison and harmony to get POET's achievements noticed.
