Ep. 7:  Using Social Media Listening and Monitoring to Recruit Creators

Using Social Media Listening and Monitoring to Recruit Creators

Or listen on:

About the Episode

When Kellen Manning took his first social media job at Boston University, he was a one-person team and he got creative about finding content and creators. He used organic social listening and monitoring practices to find members of the community who were already creating great content and built a strategy around UGC. Now as a director, he continues this practice, building it into his team’s process, and they’ve extended it to searching for faculty creators.
