Good morning! Great to meet you all. I’m relatively new to social media, and this is the first time I’ve had a role exclusively related to social media (as opposed to being a digital marketing generalist), so I’m excited to go all in!

Introduce Yourself: I’m Allyson, Social Media Specialist. I was once in a PhD program and thought I wanted to do the full academia thing. My first realization that I could do something else was when I started looking into UX Research, then other tech-related roles. Social media wasn’t the first thing for me, but when I landed my first digital marketing job, it became my favorite part of the day. 

Favorite Social Media Platform: At the moment, Threads! LinkedIn has been growing on me (I used to hate it, oops!), but I enjoy being part of a new social platform. When the API dropped, it was so exciting to figure out scheduling. Now, we’re still not sure what the future of Threads will look like, but it’s been a great playground for me to figure out strategy from the ground up.

Best Social Media Campaign: I once worked for a college that went through a large controversy. Although the situation was external, I had to be the face and voice of the college, and I started a campaign that blasted our socials with positive testimonials that reiterated our mission statement and reassured our community. It was popular, and someone even printed out the graphics I made! Definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Top Social Media Tip: Always remember your audience! It’s been tempting for me to create the kind of content I want to see, but it’s not necessarily the content that best serves the community I’m trying to build. Whenever I need a reminder, I do more social listening. I also have a couple accounts I use exclusively to scroll “as” someone in my audience. 

Future Trends: For better or worse, AI. Obviously it doesn’t have the best footing right now, but I’m eager to see how it’ll continue being implemented and regulated in digital spaces.

Learning opportunity: I just want to connect with people and learn!
