Changing Roles in Communications Departments (What's social media got to do with it?)

•

0 recomendaciones•368 vistas

This presentation was a general session for the 2012 UCDA Design Summit. Summary - For the best results: everything is connected to everything else. Social media is most effective when it is a part of an integrated brand strategy and tightly linked to other communication initiatives. And these days, Twitter and Facebook are not just the purview of social media strategists. More case study discussion will demonstrate how you incorporate social media channels into key communication projects. And, while you're at it, you might as well use social media for your own renewal and rejuvenation as you meet the challenges of new roles and responsibilities on your campus.

#getresults
Social Media Campaign = Focused effort to
achieve goals using a variety of channels
appropriate to the results sought.

Process
(for Print + Web + Social)

✓ Research and discovery
✓ Crowdsource content
✓ Creative concept development
✓ Target audience testing
✓ Design, editorial & production
✓ Launch and integrate multiple channels

Crowdsource the copy.

“What is an object that means
William & Mary to you?”

“How would you describe William &
Mary in a Tweet or a Facebook status?”

Integrate multiple channels.

Please, connect the dots for your audience.

Integrate. Again, I say, integrate!

What makes it work?

• Partnerships with other campus units
• Blending content from the .edu website
and the social media channels
• Spending time and resources to produce
great content (it always makes things
easier)

Try this:

• Determine purpose, relevance and
importance of each channel
• Develop flexible content that can be used
in multiple ways
• Crowdsource to get the talent and
authenticity of students (and faculty and
alumni and the rest of your community)

Look familiar?
•Specific goals
•More planning/less spontaneous
•Make a commitment and be consistent
•Institutional buy-in and support
•Multiple channels
•Multiple sources of content
•Sense of humor
•Planned evolution (track reactions/patterns)
•Monitor results

It’s the
conversation,
stupid.
Keep up your end.

I was once paid
to write Tweets for
a squirrel.

Make it fun and on message.

It’s like telling
your kids about
sex.
Answer the question that is asked.

Good news!

You built a
following.
Follow a strategy.

No one cares
about your
career more than
you do.
Gene Roche

What does it take?

• Adaptability
(being okay with uncertainty)

• Raise your hand
(taking a risk)

• Change
(again and again and again)

Although the importance of social media for higher education communications and marketing strategy is increasing, staff resources for digital content oftentimes fail to grow at the same pace. For example, in the 2014 CASE social media survey, 53 percent of respondents identified “staffing of day-to-day content management” as a barrier to successful use of social media. One way to get past that staffing barrier is called curation – the technique of sharing strategically selected content created by your university community across the university’s social media channels. The University of San Francisco (ca. 10,000 students) launched the curation site #USFCA (hashtag.usfca.edu) in March 2013. One year later, the site had generated more than 4,000 brand-supportive content items coming from 1,200 unique sources, together creating a fascinating, authentic, and on-going curated story about the university – as told by the community. The site yielded more than 160,000 views in the first year and the engaging content was featured across all official social media channels, helping the university to one of the best social media years overall, with an overall 38% social media community growth. The best thing of all – this model is completely applicable at other higher education institutions, and it’s easy to launch and get going as soon as some basic steps are in place.

One year ago I posted, "10 Social Media Best Practices in Higher Education" which has proven to be one of my most popular posts. This is not surprising, as many of my campus speaking engagements include covering such topics. This top 10 list includes: Implement a Social Media Strategy Produce Quality & Accurate Content Manage Platforms with Social Media Managers and Student Leaders Use an Authentic and Transparent Voice Represent the University/Division/Department Brand and University Resources Collaborate and Support other University Social Media Pages Respect Your Community Dive into Data Empower Influencers and Engage Audience Get Internal Buy-In Social media exists in the gray, so even these best practices could be scrutinized. Whatever your perspective, higher education needs more tools to aid in strategy development, especially since social media platforms change constantly.

Your website should be the hub for all your institution's communications. And because social media is such a valuable way to connect with and engage constituents, they should be integrated into your site. Michael Stoner, president of mStoner, will look at why this is essential, explore some great examples from colleges and universities around the world, and suggest ways in which TERMINALFOUR makes this kind of integration easy for you to accomplish.

Successful enrollment marketing requires translation of institutional brand for a prospective student audience, yet demands on admission offices mean there is little time for planning. Learn how vision and partnership with university marketing and communications allows the Fordham University enrollment team to translate institutional brand into a plan that works.

What's the foundational first step for every successful communication initiative? Strategy. You can't just do some stuff. You need goals and a plan. What's your strategy for strategy? How do you get the upfront buy-in you need? How do you manage the (neverending) feedback loop? We'll talk about managing up, down and all around to ensure successful communication projects. This presentation was a keynote session at the 2013 CASE Annual Conference for Publications Professionals.

What's your strategy for strategy?

Susan T. Evans

If you are a marketing and communications professional, you probably think about “doing more and more with less and less” every week. And, one of your daily concerns might come from working with a large and vocal committee to make decisions about a critical project with a tight deadline. Talking through each of the six things that probably bug you every week, Susan T. Evans shares tips, ideas, and advice for making your way around the barriers to excellent marketing and communications work on your campus.

OH in Higher Ed Circles: 6 things that drive us mad.

Susan T. Evans

Parents of college students continue to hover as much as they did when their children were high school students. They want to be involved, they need to be involved, they WILL be involved. We also know that parent giving to higher education is on the rise and, interestingly, parents often feel more connected to the institutions their children attend than they do to their own alma maters. Social channels offer a powerful engine for driving communication and engagement with parents, especially when integrated with your website content. We'll talk about what works and how to get more bang—and maybe more bucks—from parents on social. Whether or not you have a formal parent program at your institution, you'll benefit from this discussion about this important stakeholder group. This presentation was part of the program for the 2013 CASE Social Media and Community Conference.

What's the secret for getting the most from an external partner? How do you know when you need one and how do you find the right firm to work with? More than that, how do you run the show effectively once you do? Let's empower the campus designer to get the most out of these external partnerships! We'll talk about directing the process internally, and making sure you get what you need. As someone who's worked on both sides, I'll talk candidly about what to look for and what to avoid during these key partnerships. This session was part of the 2013 UCDA Design Summit.

What's the best thinking about mobile design? What are the technical and non-technical decisions that need to be made and how does design support the mobile experience? Using case studies like the responsive website designed for Webster University, we'll walk through the practical and the introductory about designing for the mobile experience. This presentation was on the program for the UCDA Design Summit in March 2013.

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.

The most successful education websites, social media, and print collateral are grounded in the realities of a brand platform and an institutional communication strategy. Just doing some stuff won't help you reach your goals. And, yes, a successful plan for communications and marketing includes goals. Strategy is foundational, don't skip that step. This presentation was the keynote at the 2012 CASE Annual Conference for Publications Professionals.

This presentation was part of the 2012 CASE Social Media and Community Conference and co-presented with Nyleva Corley, web and social media manager at UT Austin. Summary: Your audiences experience your brand and hear from you through a long list of social media and non-social media channels, and you shouldn't expect them to connect the dots. You need to develop an institutional plan that will allow you to stay on message across multiple communication channels using everything from social media aggregators to editorial calendars to social media campaigns. Not only that, a social media strategy isolated from your broader communication strategy is a risk. We'll share specifics and demonstrate best practices through case studies from educational institutions.

Social Media Integration as a Best Practice for Marketing and Communications

Susan T. Evans

This presentation was a general session at the 2012 UCDA Design Summit. Summary: The communication paradigm continues to shift. Essentially we're all trying to figure out a way to get a bunch of great people with different skills on the same team doing exceptional work telling the story of our college or university. So how do you take separate organizations and merge them into one high-performance engine of creativity? What steps do you take to blend web and publications into a creative services team? We'll talk about an approach where you forget the past, ignore the present, and imagine the future. And, we'll walk through a case study of a prospective student mailing project that demonstrates how a medium-agnostic team can come together to accomplish incredible creative.

In 2010, William & Mary established the Office of Creative Services within the university’s central communication division. This "in-house agency" blends the capabilities and talents of the former university publications office and the former university web team. Creative Services offers an array of services in support of university-level communication and is committed to a strategic approach for university messaging. This presentation will focus on 1) the assessment required to evaluate needs and build consensus for a creative services organization on your campus, 2) the transitional and organizational development challenges that will be present when bringing a new creative services unit to life, 3) the metrics used to evaluate the success of the first 18 months.

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
