<p><b>Hanam, Gyeonggi Province –</b> In a testament to the power of creative digital engagement, Hanam City has clinched the grand prize in the Facebook category at the prestigious '11th 2025 Korea SNS Awards' announced today, February 26th. This <b>breaking news</b> highlights a significant shift in how local governments are connecting with their constituents, moving beyond traditional methods to embrace the dynamic world of social media. This win isn’t just a local victory; it’s a potential model for public sector communication nationwide and globally.</p>
<h2>From Stiff to Stellar: How Hanam City Mastered the Social Media Game</h2>
<p>The Korea SNS Awards, backed by the Ministry of Science and ICT and other key industry players, recognize public institutions and companies excelling in citizen communication through social media. Hanam City’s success wasn’t about simply *being* on Facebook; it was about understanding the platform’s culture and adapting its messaging accordingly. The city cleverly transformed potentially dry administrative news and policy information into easily digestible, friendly content, largely thanks to its official mascots, 'Hanam and Banguli'.</p>
<p>But the real magic lay in their embrace of short-form video. Recognizing the dominance of platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, Hanam City strategically incorporated popular memes and trends into videos promoting city policies. This wasn’t just about jumping on bandwagons; it was about meeting citizens where they already were, speaking their language, and making important information genuinely engaging. This approach is a prime example of effective <b>SEO</b> for public service announcements – attracting attention organically through shareable content.</p>
<h2>Beyond Facebook: A Multi-Platform Digital Ecosystem</h2>
<p>Hanam City’s digital prowess extends far beyond Facebook. The city is actively cultivating a robust presence across multiple platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, and KakaoTalk, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of audience segmentation. On YouTube, they’ve tapped into the youth demographic with clever parodies of viral memes like 'Show Me the Mother'. Instagram boasts a surge in followers thanks to captivating Reels videos. And the 'Hanam and Banguli' emoticons on KakaoTalk were so popular they sold out quickly, adding over 82,000 friends to the channel.</p>
<p>This multi-channel strategy isn’t haphazard. It’s a carefully orchestrated effort to tailor communication to the unique characteristics of each platform. This is a crucial lesson for any organization looking to maximize its social media reach – a one-size-fits-all approach simply won’t cut it in today’s fragmented digital landscape. For those looking to improve their own social media <b>SEO</b>, this diversification is key.</p>
<h2>'Damdadi' & the Power of Character-Driven Communication</h2>
<p>Central to Hanam City’s success is the consistent use of 'Hanam and Banguli' to promote policies. The monthly 'Damdadi' series – providing clear and accurate information on city initiatives – has resonated strongly with citizens. This character-driven approach humanizes the government, making it more approachable and fostering a sense of trust. It’s a powerful reminder that even in the digital age, storytelling remains a fundamental element of effective communication.</p>
<p>A city official emphasized the importance of SNS promotion, stating that it’s “essential to quickly inform various news in real time and should be further expanded in the future.” This commitment to ongoing digital innovation signals a long-term vision for citizen engagement.</p>
