This document discusses strategies for improving social media engagement for higher education institutions. It provides data showing higher ed institutions generally have lower social media engagement rates than brands. It then outlines several recommendations for increasing engagement, such as posting more images and videos instead of just text, being more authentic and adding humor, engaging with current events, and understanding the different strengths and audiences of various social media platforms. Case studies are presented of schools that implemented these strategies and saw engagement increases of up to 2x on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

- 8 schools in their competitive landscape Nearly last in engagement among big competitors
- Looking through their Twitter feeds… All the ow.ly…. Not many images.
- Great image in the article, that they could have used….
- Why do we not use humor and be authentic? Because of fear….of ending up on a list of fails, or having to do damage control.
- Humor is not a strategy. It’s part of your authentic brand and content strategy. Why be funny? It works, it shows your personality. Often, the most memorable campaigns & interactions are humorous. For your target audience, it’s a golden opportunity.
- Evangel- client, private Christian school If they can get away with this humor, so can you :)
- Always good to connect with students with a bit of humor 11 RTs, almost 80 favs
- Baby steps…. Test the waters a bit with current students Think lighthearted, not sarcastic…no sarcasm font on social media
- Keep an eye on “Internet events” and what’s trending, and play off those events…makes it easier.
- Dorm life, #collegeprobs… Start with what’s familiar
- Pay attention to your medium/platform when using humor. Content is king but context is queen. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Tumblr- SURE! LinkedIn? Press releases? Not so much.
