Social Media Channel Request Form

If you are interested in launching a new NUSU social media page or channel, you must first contact the Digital & Communications Team. To kick start the process please complete the form below so we have some background information on file. The team will then be in touch to arrange a meeting to discuss your request.

Please note that all NUSU social media channels must be managed in partnership with the Digital & Communications Team. The team must have administrative access to the page or channel, this is to ensure that all content supports NUSU’s policies and brand guidelines.

We will also need to consider your request in the context of other Communications workstreams. If it is approved, it will take 2 to 3 weeks for your channel to go live.

Before completing the form, take a moment to consider how you will attract an audience to your channel and create interesting and topical content to retain your followers. This can be time consuming to plan and prepare. It might also take many months to build a significant following.
