Algorithm / Paid / Approach Set Up

 

Like other platforms, X uses an algorithm to prioritize content based on personal interest. There are nonetheless opportunities for users to toggle between different views that can override the algorithm in favor of specific topics or chronological posting, but most content is delivered via algorithm. 

 

While our platform strategy is tailored to accommodate the algorithm, most of our organic content will not be prioritized to our desired audiences automatically. A paid strategy is therefore necessary to ensure our content is seen by the right audience and their networks. See the paid strategy section to read more. 

 

The most important factors of the algorithm include immediacy, relevance, engagement and type of media.

 

One Bayer Approach to X

 

X is ideal for in-the-moment information and timely updates. This is where Bayer can share relevant news, join existing conversations about trending topics and engage in open discussions with the public. 

 

Our approach is to voice a point of view as we share and engage, standing behind our work and values.
