Abstract

Social networks are fundamental tools for sports organizations to connect with their target audience, allowing them to generate greater engagement in their current and potential customers to convert them into fans of the brand. The purpose of this research was to identify the digital strategies in social networks used by the Physical Education Center (CEF) of the Polytechnic School of Chimborazo (ESPOCH) and their engagement. With the application of a mixed approach, 420 students and 2 digital marketing experts in sports organizations were surveyed and interviewed respectively. The results obtained show that the social network most used by ESPOCH students to find out about sports news is Facebook, however, the use of other social networks is required to show specific content in relation to a certain topic. In addition, generating content marketing in a certain social network will increase the visibility of a brand by generating valuable and attractive content with constant interaction which allows raising the level of engagement. The information found is a significant contribution for sports organizations when publicizing their services or events through social networks to generate an adequate engagement with their target audience.
