Find what people posted
about your event

4 min readUses Social listening

The short version

  1. 1Set up your search before the event. Pick a hashtag and list the handles and creators you invited.
  2. 2Read the comments people leave on posts about you. A like tells you someone approved. A comment gives you words to quote.
  3. 3Say which numbers in your report are estimates. Label reach as an estimate and the rest of your report stays credible.

Five moves before and after

1Step 1 of 5

Pick one hashtag and put it everywhere

One short, unusual hashtag works better than five. Search it first to check nobody's using it, then put it on every QR sign and the album page.

Guests copy what's in front of them, so a hashtag on the sign ends up in captions. Keep your brand's usual hashtag as a second one if people already use it.

2Step 2 of 5

List the handles and creators early

Tell MyWrap the handles that matter: your brand, the venue, the sponsor, the headline act. Add every creator you invited, since they often skip the hashtag and are easier to find by name.

Add the event name the way people say it, plus the likely misspelling. Then stop, because extra keywords pull in posts about other things.

Read the comments on the top posts

MyWrap pulls posts, videos and mentions from TikTok, Instagram and X into one feed. Likes show a post travelled, and the comments show how people felt.

Comments are sorted into positive, neutral and negative, with quotes kept word for word. Read the real ones on the top posts yourself. "Where do I get one" and "why was the queue an hour" are both worth knowing.

Reply to the people who posted

Everyone who posted liked you enough to say so. Thank them in the comments, especially smaller accounts, where a reply from a brand means a lot.

Ask in a DM before you reshare anyone's post, because public doesn't mean permission. Then point them to the album so they can find their photos and add their own.

Add it to the event report

The mood of the comments and a few real quotes sit next to your event report, so it shows what people thought. Reach comes labelled as an estimate, so keep that label wherever you copy it.

Keep listening for about a week. Recap posts, vlogs and photo dumps keep coming in for days.

Steal this

Copy these for your QR sign, your replies and your DMs.

For the QR sign

“Posting this? Tag @[brand] and #[hashtag]. Scan to find your photos and add yours.”

Replying to a guest's post

“Love this shot. Thanks for coming! The album's open if you have more: [link]”

Asking to reshare

“Hi [name], we loved your post from [event]. Could we share it on our account with credit to you? Totally fine if not.”

Fair questions

What is social listening for events?

It means collecting the public posts about one event over a set window, then reading the comments to see how it went. A date and a hashtag keep the job small.

Which platforms does MyWrap listen on?

TikTok, Instagram and X. Posts, videos and mentions land in one feed, with sentiment from the comments on the top posts.

How long should I keep listening after the event?

About a week. Teasers start a day or two before, and recaps keep arriving for days after.

Are the reach numbers exact?

No, they're labelled as estimates. Report them that way and keep them apart from things you counted.

Do I need an event hashtag?

It helps a lot. Without one you're relying on tags and keywords, which catch less.
