About Agenda Austria

Agenda Austria is THE Austrian think tank. Its mission is to generate ideas for a better future for the people of Austria. The institute describes its works as “Solutions-oriented. Scientific. Incorruptible.” and finances itself privately to preserve its independence. The institute’s mission of greater well-being and security for Austria means the team has to deal with certain issues and initiate discussions. The key is to reach the target group, wherever they may be.

Social Media as a Basis for Public Discussion

For Agenda Austria, freedom and individual responsibility are the most important building blocks of society. The institute develops content and ideas in areas like tax, labor markets and pensions, and seeks to communicate them to as wide an audience as possible. Social media provides an indispensable opportunity to initiate discussions and reach opinion leaders. They need to manage their social media channels efficiently to leave enough time for the concerns of the social media user.

Agenda Austria opted to integrate Swat.io into its social media management. The tool gave them everything they needed for clear, time-saving use of social media.

All of Agenda Austria’s social media communication is handled by Nikolaus Jilch and Heike Lehner with the help of Swat.io. They pursue different strategies on each of the channels.

The goal is to inspire meaningful discussion and to influence public opinion. That means dealing with every comment and taking it seriously. Swat.io ensures they don’t miss a thing, even during heated discussions, with structured, transparent display of user notifications.

Why the Team at Agenda Austria Chose Swat.io

🔎

How has Swat.io impacted your work since you started using it?

“We have a much better overview now! That starts with the fact that it’s really very difficult to manage multiple accounts without the right tool. If we need specialist input from our economists or our agency, we can trace all that through Swat.io. We always have a clear idea where input is required and who has already been notified about it. That makes collaboration so much easier.”

Why did you choose Swat.io?

“It was the community management that really impressed us. Swat.io makes it easy to maintain an overview and control – for example, I have to click on every comment myself to indicate that it’s been read. And if something goes wrong, the support is really good and always responds very quickly.”
⏰

Who would you recommend Swat.io to?

“We would recommend Swat.io to any business that wants to bring structure to its social media management, and which handles multiple social media channels. Once you get to know Swat.io, you can’t imagine professionally managing your social media presence without this kind of tool again.
