Accord’s main Twitter profile has had a marginal decrease in impressions, which explains the slight decrease of engagements. This is probably due to blog content being posted slightly later than usual this month, meaning less shared content. Accord North mirrors this pattern, with impressions, engagements and click-through all marginally decreasing. However, our follower count continues to grow.
