Coors Light vs. Guinness on Twitter

Coors Light tweets 1-4 times per week on average. 

This was more frequent leading up to Christmas until New Year’s Eve with daily tweets.
Lately, Guinness tweets 1-7 times per day!












Coors Light tends to post motivational content. Tweets to get you through your week. Hashtags like #MotivationMonday and #ClimbOn are most popular. They have one tweet including a promo code for Uber that gives first time Uber users a $20 off their first Uber fare.


The amount of tweeting has increased this month due to their #stoutmoji initiative.
Guinness wants there to be an emoji of a dark beer in addition to the regular light beer emojis that already exist. They are posing from an equality standpoint and are regularly tweeting about that.

Coors Light takes advantage of the 50/50 rule with their twitter posts.
Ordinarily Guinness lives by the 50/50 rule as well but lately, in support of their emoji movement they have dominated their twitter page with posts more about the potential for a Stoutmoji causing a temporary imbalance.
#ClimbOn                                                                             Join the fight for #Stoutmoji



 This tweet had the most likes (953) and retweets (352) of any of Coors Light’s posts in the last few months. They also had 12 comments.

This post was directed toward sports fans. Sport lovers are a large target market for Coors Light as well as many major beer companies as sport watching and beer drinking often go hand in hand. Sporting events, especially championship games bring millions of sports fans all over the world together. Coors Light shows their common interest in college football and is taking advantage of something that is happening in real time.




This tweet about the desire for a new stoutmoji speaks to lovers of emojis, Guinness beer drinkers and people who are passionate about equality, which is a rapidly growing demographic. This tweet has gained 366 likes, and 188 retweets.
