UMASS Dartmouth Study Shows Social Media Reduces Recruiting Costs for Higher Ed

Last week, my mother-in-law emailed me a link to a press release on Social Media ROI for institutions of higher education from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Marketing Research.

Burson-Marsteller’s recently rolled out their Global Social Media Check-up for 2012. The report chronicles social media usage for the Fortune Global 100.

Using Social Media to Tell YOUR Story

Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak to a handful of Boston-based nonprofit organizations on using social media. While giving the presentation, I realized that the messaging applies to more than the NPO community. The biggest take away from the 30 minute talk was the power of story and how that a firm company story…

Cookie Monster Call Me Maybe is Genius

Growing up, Sesame Street was one of my favorite shows. Jim Henson & Co. lured me in with colorful Muppets, little did I know that they were educating me as well. I can’t wait for them to trick Baby Espo into watching him some learning. Today, the group continues to impress me with their grasp…
