Getting an Account
Once you have the go ahead from your manager, and have planned your social media strategy, getting a social media account is straightforward. Here鈥檚 our recommended process:
- Get your manager鈥檚 approval
- Schedule a consult! Speak with a member of the C&M team to learn about what's required to run a high performing social media account, as well as receive helpful tools and templates: digital@sfu.ca
- Familiarize yourself with social media best practices to hit the ground running with your new accounts and begin building an audience from day one
- There are lots of social media tools out there. We recommend using Hootsuite to manage your social posts and messages.
Request a Hootsuite account
Official 丁香园AV faculties and departments are eligible to purchase a Hootsuite Enterprise account from Communications & Marketing. Typically this ends up being less expensive and more advantageous than purchasing another social media management tool on your own. If you are interested in signing up for a Hootsuite Enterprise account, or would like to learn more about if the tool is right for you, please email: digital@sfu.ca.
