Publix joined the social media world in 2011 with a Facebook page. Five years and more than 2.6 million fans later, we’ve expanded to include Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest — and even a couple of blogs. These resources create opportunities to interact with customers and potential associates and even gain some new customers through our social media presence.
“As we continue to expand our company in both existing and new markets, using our social media platforms ensures we stay connected with our current customers and allows us the opportunity to build relationships and engage with new customers,” said Director of Social Media and Customer Care Shannon Patten. “Our customers enjoy the two-way social interactions we provide, and it’s rewarding to know we continue to build trust and loyalty through our social media content and conversations.”
With associates hard at work sharing countless photos and videos, along with community news and wellness tips, it’s easy to see why our virtual family is growing. Are you already following? If not, look at all these great opportunities to connect with others who love Publix too. And, tell your family and friends to start “socializing” with us as well!

Career Social Sites
Publix also understands the value in engaging with job seekers through social networking. And the Publix Careers social network sites aren’t just for external job seekers — Publix associates join these networks, too. Not only can you learn more about job opportunities, you can also learn how to get a step ahead of the competition. But it doesn’t end there; our associates are our employment brand ambassadors and help by sharing tips and jobs, and by tagging friends on job fair posts to grab their attention.
“We rely on associates to help us share why Publix is such a great place to work,” said Manager of Talent Acquisition Marcy Hamrick. “When associates follow, like and share Publix Careers posts and tweets, our reach expands, and we’re able to engage with job seekers who may not be aware of our Publix Careers social sites.”
