The Olive Press gets crafty: a new approach to our social media platforms sees 375% growth and the winners of our Tom Jones and David Walliams competitions

THE Olive Press social media platforms have spiked by 176% this year.

The combined outlets of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube have never been performing so well.

Facebook alone reached a whopping 4.7 million views over the last month…an increase of 204%, while since January it has risen by 375%.

Visitors to the Meta platform watched a staggering total of 61 days of our content.

Engagement shows that one-minute views have gone up by 379%.

Meanwhile, Instagram has seen another huge rise, particularly among women, who are 61% of our visitors.

We have had 147,000 views on the platform over the last fortnight, with an incredible 5.9% of visitors coming from Marbella, 3.4% from London and 2.8% from Madrid.

An impressive 85% of views this year have come from regular followers, while we have reached 130% more new accounts.

This all comes hand in hand with the staggering growth of our website last year, which reached nine million unique visitors and a 924% rise in a year.

But, it is on social media that we have focused this spring, after adding the talented social media guru, Alicia Kirk, to our team.
