Joining the BGSU social media community

Before managing or creating a social media account that represents Bowling Green State University, please review the following.

A University-affiliated social media account is a responsibility to the University and a time-commitment. As a community where we all belong, content must be accessible. To be successful and to ensure your time is well-spent, audience size, growth, frequency of posting, content and platform best practices are all things to take into consideration.

Fractured audiences are not typically very effective. For example, if you are a department, we recommend collaborating with your college social media account to post content, rather than creating additional social media profiles, which splits up your audience.

If, after reviewing the below, you would like a consultation or assistance, please email Brianna Blackburn, bblackb@bgsu.edu.
