connect your own dots: social media integration as a best practice for marketing and communications...
DESCRIPTION
Your audiences experience your brand and hear from you through an ever growing list of social media channels; but you can’t expect them to connect the dots. Instead, you need to develop an institutional plan that will allow you to stay on message across multiple digital channels like social media aggregators, websites, editorial calendars, and social media campaigns. A social media strategy isolated from your broader communication/marketing strategy is a risk. This webinar will include specific suggestions and demonstrate best practices through case studies from educational institutions.TRANSCRIPT
