United Has Facebook's Most 'Engaging' Brand Post of the Week

Normally brands aspire to generate the most engagement with their posts in social media. But United won't be happy with this trophy: Its now-infamous statement referring to dragging a paying passenger from a flight as "re-accomodation" was the most engaging brand post on Facebook in the week through Tuesday. Wendy's is also winning, more in the style that brand managers aspire to, with a pledge to give high-schooler Carter Wilkerson free chicken nuggets for a year if he got 18 million tweets. (He's now on his way.) Check out all the week's most engaging posts on social-media platforms, according to ListenFirst Media, and click on the chart to see the original posts in their native social habitat.
