Before creating a new account, can your goals be met through one of Thomas More’s current channels? Keep in mind the University has a robust and growing following on Instagram, Facebook, twitter, and LinkedIn; it may be more beneficial for your goals to leverage what already exists. It takes a dedicated and consistent effort to grow a following, and to reach the level of influence that you may need to attain specific communications goals.

The main University social media accounts have a dedicated presence every day. Not every social media account will be maintained at that level but most accounts require substantial time commitments to be effective. Remember that social media is more than just posting content, it also involves answering questions, and engaging your community. Opening a social media account means managing a two-way digital conversation. What audience do you want to reach?
