<p>Holness, the island’s eight prime minister, continues to run
one of the most engaging platforms on social media – with many drawing
comparisons to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and former US President Barack Obama.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>From the very young to the very old, just about everywhere our PM makes an appearance, Holness’ seemingly calm and endearing aura is infectious.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As a man who understands the power of social media and digital engagement, Holness largely owes his shock 2016 general election win to his outstanding presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.</p>

<p>He straddles a delicate balance between being Jamaica’s ‘everyman’ and leader of the Government – in a way that demands your attention and provokes your thoughts.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But does Holness' 'cool factor' really hold up? </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Turns out, there are apparently little holes in this plot as time and time again, Holness and his team have evolved and adapted to capitalize on the use of social media and its impact on Jamaicans.</p>
