How Does Wendy's Use Fan Posts to Grow Its Audience?

Buffer's Science of Social Media points to Wendy's in 2018 as the pattern for turning customers into champions. Wendy's retweets posts from fans and adds an entertaining, personal caption. Each retweet puts the brand in front of more people, and those people talk back, the kind of reply newer Facebook and Instagram feeds reward. Find the fans rather than wait: search customers you already have and the posts you did not know existed, and at an event talk to people instead of watching from the side. The show names Social Rank as a free way to sort Twitter and Instagram followers by clout and by who actually replies.
