How to Go Viral in the Columbus Community
Columbus's conversation is happening right now on X. With 898,553 residents and a booming Tech Hub (Intel) scene, trends move fast. Your brand needs to be part of the discussion using hashtags like #Columbus.
Columbus, or 'The Arch City,' is undergoing a massive transformation into the Silicon Valley of the Midwest. With the $20 billion Intel expansion in New Albany and the massive influence of The Ohio State University, the city's Reddit community (especially r/columbus) is one of the most active in the region. Whether you're targeting the tech crowd in the Short North or the academic powerhouse that is OSU, building karma here requires a mix of midwestern humility and high-value local knowledge. It's not just about the state capital; it's about a city that's rapidly scaling while keeping its community roots deep.
