Schools need to create a strong sense of community via social. And that requires marketers in education to wear many hats and tackle several specific challenges:

  • Presenting a unified brand story across numerous—often siloed—departments
  • Fostering relationships with a diverse audience throughout the student life cycle
  • Proving the ROI of social efforts that serve myriad goals and objectives
