Abstract

Social media have revolutionised communication and changed the way brand stories are created. Because of social media’s popularity among target audiences of higher education institutions, they have become key components to higher education marketing communication strategies. How can colleges and universities maximise human resources for a social media strategy that incorporates the management of brand co-creation to produce a unified image? Based on recent experiences from social media initiatives at a small, private, liberal arts Catholic college, this paper highlights the benefits of networks of faculty staff social media administrators, social media student ambassadors and alumni ambassadors in content generation and expansion of the institution’s social media footprint.
