The third FREE PG Marketing Conference webinar took place on Wednesday 28 October 2020, this time focusing on content and social media! Our speakers delivered two engaging presentations, covering the understanding of user behaviour to inform content creation, and the importance of academic engagement on social media.
What did we cover?
How to understand user behaviour to inform content creation
Presented by Azeem Ahmad, Digital Marketing Manager, Staffordshire University
Azeem ran through the basics of measuring user behaviour on site, allowing attendees to gain understanding of how simple this is to put in place. Attendees left with actionable insights about their own audience, enabling them to create more tailored content.
Why social media is important for academics and research
Presented by Dan Marrable, Director, 448 Studio and Carla Banks, Global Reputation Manager, Lancaster University
Dan and Carla reflected on work they've been undertaking with research groups at Lancaster University for the past year and a half. They discussed the steps needed to build an engaged community of academics on social media, and why it’s important for those undertaking research to have a strong grasp of it.
