However, using social media as the foundation for the story was only the beginning. After the post gained thousands of share, the traditional piece came into play. &#8220;Social media is changing. We all know this. It is now more important than ever to ensure your social moments also carry over to the traditional media,&#8221; said Nick Powills, chief brand strategist for No Limit Agency. &#8220;The traditional media now covers viral, in that they are waiting for fun news bites to lighten up their news and engage with their audiences. With the Philly Pretzel Tebow moment, they can now ride out all of the traditional media buzz, as well.&#8221; For a franchise brand, moments like this should also create exposure of the business opportunity, Powills continued. &#8220;If I am ever going to look at a business to buy, I am going to look at the brand from a consumer standpoint first. How does the brand stand out in a crowded market place? For Philly Pretzel, they continue to outshine the competition with wit and the ability to add human interest," he said. From a traditional media standpoint, here are some of the coverage points, out of the nearly 800 media hits and counting that happened within a four-hour span: <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25155884/philly-pretzel-factory-creates-custom-tim-tebow-pretzel?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CBS Sports</a> <a href="http://www.csnphilly.com/blog/700-level/dont-get-too-excited-about-stale-tim-tebow-pretzel?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Comcast Sports</a> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2015/04/20/were-knot-kidding-theres-a-tim-tebow-pretzel-in-philly/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Washington Post</a> <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/2015/4/20/8457391/philadelphia-eagles-tim-tebow-nfl-free-agency-pretzels?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SB Nation</a> <a href="http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/04/20/tim-tebow-pretzels-philadelphia-eagles?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sports Illustrated </a> From a Social Media standpoint, here are some tweets about the Tebow pretzel going viral: <a href="https://twitter.com/nfl/status/590220493241896960/photo/1?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NFL</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/590202409139490816?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ESPN</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SNFonNBC/status/590195755098316800?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sunday Night Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/FanDuel/status/590223690454798337/photo/1?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=philly-pretzel-tebows-when-social-meets-traditional-media-1511" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">FanDuel</a></div>
