Notas do Editor
- I’m Erin Supinka. I’m the assistant director of digital engagement at Dartmouth College and this is where I work. We’re a private arts liberal college in New Hampshire, one of the eight Ivies, and as you’ll hear from any Dartmouth alumni, we are a small school but there are those who love it! A famous line from a Supreme Court argument delivered by one of famed alumni, Daniel Webster back when the state of New Hampshire tried to make Dartmouth public.
- Why am I telling you all this? I’m a big believer in context. I don’t think you can understand or fully appreciate a story unless you understand the context. So I’m going to start this talk off with a little bit about me.
- This is not my dog and I feel really guilty so here are my real dogs.
- These are my dogs and they are also perfect ANGELS. Cedar is on the left and that’s Fern in the snow.
- I know many of you come from small offices and small teams so this may look like your average day in the life of type stuff. Th
- And this is how I felt.
- The more time I spend in the higher education marketing/communication space, the more I see people up against things like this. So I wanted to walk you through how I aligned what I was doing with our social media with what we were doing and communicating about our institution as a whole—with measurable results to prove the value of the work we were doing on social.
- What words do I see repeated? Phrases? What stories are we telling again and again? Who are we focusing on? What are we sending to our prospective students?
- Here’s what floated to the top after looking through hundreds of published pieces of material from official Dartmouth sources.
- And here’s what our leadership launched earlier this year as the official communications strategic framework earlier this year. When I flip between this slide and the last, I want to say “look at how great I am at sleuthing!” but really, what it boils down to is that communicators across our campus were already doing a great job telling these stories. So well that a brand new person could come into the mix and see these themes so clearly articulated.
- For the love of everyone’s sanity, be prepared. Read through materials that exist, understand what already is out there
- I take so many people out to coffee. I bring donuts. I bring snacks. But I also offer up resources and the documents I’ve created. I spend so much of my time consuming, digesting, and processing social media trends, best practices, etc. that it would be an absolute waste to not share that knowledge with the larger community. Be open. Be accessible.
