We identified 100 tweets from 10 food and beverage brands that displayed "personality," and 100 "control" tweets (i.e., a post by that brand on the same day). Our codebook quantified the following personification strategies 1) humor; 2) trendy language; and 3) absence of food product mentions. We used media articles to quantify other personification strategies 4) referencing trending topics; 5) referencing current events; 6) referencing internet memes; and 7) targeting niche audiences.

Personality tweets earned 123,013 retweets, 732,076 "likes," and 14,806 comments whereas control tweets earned 61,044 retweets, 256,105 "likes," and 14,572 comments. The strategies used most included humor (n;81), trendy language (n;80), and trending topics (n;47). The three brands that spent the most on advertising had similar or fewer retweets per follower than the four that spent relatively little on advertising.
