Who Is Franklin Boateng

Franklin Boateng is a well-known social media expert and consultant, social influencer, serial entrepreneur, twitter teacher and twogger (twitter blogger).

A native of Tottenham, North London, born to Ghanaian parents, Franklin is one of many young and ambitious black men who are pushing the frontiers of social entrepreneurship in the post-millennial era. In 2010, he built the now defunct social networking site – www.fabsnetwork.com. At the time, it was one of the first open blog social networks, gaining 5 000 members in one year and regularly getting over 1 000 000 monthly hits. This initial success led to several companies and businesses reaching out to him for direction on gaining a social media following, kickstarting his career as a social media maestro.


Social Media

As a social influencer, he helped shape the way that mainstream media covered the Tottenham riots, a watershed moment in modern British history back in 2011. He created the hashtag ‘#TottenhamRiots’ and his tweets were picked up by various media outlets, leading to an interview with the BBC. Franklin is now often called on to live tweet/twog at events; as a twogger, he has worked with a SKY TV channel and several awards shows. Twogging even led to a feature on the Marvel Instagram page during #BlackPanther fever, after being spotted by Disney and AfroPunk wearingGhanaian royal regalia at the screening of ‘We Are Parable’https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf6fjGpHFjA/.Today,
