Using Student Storytelling in Higher Ed Marketing
September 29, 2017 | 1:00 – 2:15 EDT
Learn how to better recruit, train, and manage current students to create compelling social content for your digital marketing channels.
Many institutions are now partnering more effectively with their current students to create social content for use across digital marketing channels. Join us for a 75-minute online training that will help you conceptualize or formalize a student-driven content program on your campus. Tim Nekritz from SUNY Oswego will share specifics on how to recruit, train, and manage your team of students, and will provide numerous institutional examples of successful student storytelling projects across videos, photos, blogs, and social media campaigns to help inspire your own efforts.
