- For those of us who work in this area, it’s been clear for years now that Social Media is where our prospects, parents and students are, and we’ve been working hard to engage them It’s also becoming more and more clear that the want information not just from us, but from each other. And they’re out there engaging each other - asking questions, answering them on our behalf. Like all marketing and social media messaging this is one that we can and should manage ourselves. What better way to do it than to have our teams of students, alums, faculty, and staff engaging directly to answer questions (virtually) face to face.
- And we’ve responded: we have our facebook pages, our twitter accounts, our social media dashboards, and our YouTube playlists.
- Which makes students your best ambassadors.
- Today we’ll talk about some of things Berklee and other schools have done to tap into these conversations.
- The first step is finding out what’s out there. Where are students talking about your brand, and what are they saying?
- Some great places to start are the most obvious. -Use the search engines for the places you’ve chosen to be involved -Twitter and Facebook have their own -Google will let you search blogs -Google Alerts can send you a daily or weekly digest of post about your school
- Because of the instant nature of things like Twitter and Instagram, you can set up places easily to showcase streams.

- These are all some great ways to collect student content, and encourage participation. The next step is really encouraging students to create content, in an organic and meaningful way. Student interviews and profiles of the past - updated. I think it was Donna in yesterday’s session who said “students will do anything for a cool T-shirt and pizza”? True. We give them Guitar Center gift cards.

- Distributed: We rolled this out in a series of 5 episodes and premiered them online, both privately and associated with curriculum content on the PULSE site, and publicly with PR content on the Berklee site. Strategically, we had the release dates align with the upcoming audition/submission/registration period of the following year's 5 week program to build enthusiasm and help those who might be interested in applying to the program have a better understanding and comfort level with what they are hoping to experience at Berklee. How Many Viewers: Who knows:) We could assume it is the entire PULSE member body, and also include some numbers from the Berklee.edu site. Our youtube views on the project are fairly paltry. Naz, do we have a total for the number of PULSE accounts? How it helped market the program: Someone from CMN might be better to talk about that. I know that it was used, but I am sort of out of the loop on the marketing efforts. I know that it has been used in the classroom, and that release dates created enthusiasm and usage spikes within the PULSE community. It also gave teachers, as well as students, a better understanding of how to prepare and apply for the program. Success Story: I'm pretty sure all of the students who participated came to Berklee, and that 5/6 of them got full-tuition scholarships (Naz, Jeannie, is that true???). So I think it was a huge success for the participants. It also made them more aware and introspective of the experience they were having, making this important stage in their musical development possibly more thoughtful as well. One thing that I was impressed with was how genuine each of the participants was, and how unique they are from each other. It became clear over the course of the project that what they had in common is that they were all committed, hard working students of music. In my opinion, the diversity of skill, personality and educational background show that this 5-Week scholarship opportunity is available to anyone who wants to work for it, and more in importantly, it demystified what that hard work is so that students can figure out the actionable steps they need to take to be able to be successful in the program.
