How To Celebrate Social Media Day 2015 in Michigan

In case you missed it, June 30 is Social Media Day which was started by Mashable in 2010 and continues to be celebrated around the world.

In Michigan we're celebrating Social Media Day hard with our own hashtag #SMDayMI with a campaign lead by Pure Michigan, the state's travel and tourism guru, and supported by Governor Rick Snyder.


Snyder, aka @onetoughnerd, supports #SMDayMI so much that he has proclaimed June 30th Social Media Day statewide in an effort to foster a digitally savvy population that through social media platforms will create a vibrant community for citizens to communicate with each other, universities, organizations and municipalities throughout the world.


In another effort to bring Michiganders together digitally on #SMdayMI +Pure Michigan is hosting a giveaway to celebrate all of the great Michigan companies, brands, and people on Twitter.


@PureMichigan is asking you to take to your Twitter account and tweet about which Michigan-centric social media account is your favorite to follow and why along with the #SMDayMI hashtag. By tweeting your answers you are eligible to win a Pure Michigan sweatshirt. Who doesn't love free stuff?


If Snapchat is more your thing, check out the new Pure Michigan Snapchat account (@pure-michigan). They're promising great snaps from all over the Mitten, delivered right to your phone. So if you're like me, stuck inside at a desk, you can now live the Michigan adventure life vicariously through Pure Michigan.
