Trending Tide

To increase consistency in messaging and staying on brand across social media accounts that represent UA, the social media team of Strategic Communications created a Social Media Communicators Network – Trending Tide. This group provides an opportunity to work closely with social media communicators across campus to authentically share the story of our University. A collaborative and informational environment, we’re building a community among our social media communicators by sharing assets, pooling resources and providing guidance when needed. Not only does this group help ensure the most timely and up to date information is being shared across UA-driven social platforms, but it also provides an opportunity to align social strategies and messaging across university-related social media accounts.
