10. HASHTAGS #
Hashtags have become synonymous with people,
events, and campaigns that have achieved a
particular level of mass recognition. Sometimes for
good reasons, sometimes for bad.
Your campaign should seek to either communicate
into a popular pre-existing hashtag or identify space
where a new, thoughtfully worded one might come to
define a particular issue and then capitalize on this by
making it the centerpiece of your Twitter campaign.
When using a hashtag that contains more than one
word, be sure to capitalize the first letter of each word.
This makes it easier to read for the first-time viewer.
