WGN America’s social media campaign for How I Met Your Mother using Facebook and Twitter (MeetatMacLarens) which began this spring has been a great success.  WGN America’s How I Met Your Mother Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/MeetatMacLarens has amassed over 230,000 followers.

Meet at MacLarens is filled with Facebook fan-friendly features including: The Barney Bro Burn: an exhaustive database of Barney’s best one liners that users can post on their friend’s pages; The Robin Scherbatsky Awards: users can send to a friend who deserves public shame for a blatant offense in Facebook journalism; HIMYM Guide to New York: WGN America’s geographic guide to HIMYM locations in NY and a Web Guide with a list of our favorite HIMYM bloggers.

As part of WGN America’s social media strategy, the network has partnered with Story Worldwide, a global content marketing agency, to help create and curate the ideal fan experience and drive tune-in to WGN America on air.

HIMYM currently airs on WGN America Tuesday through Friday (9pm E /6pm W,) Saturday (11:30pm E /8:30pm W) and Sunday (7pm E /4pm W.)
