Social media is the longest form of storytelling there is to the widest of audiences. Spartans are everywhere and always want to feel like they are part of the community. The Michigan State Athletics motto is, "Champions on and off the field." Throughout their social accounts, I wanted to showcase that. I focused on promoting the successes each program had through a variety of content. I incorporated film photography whenever possible. Football games were a perfect place to use film because of our fans and our team. The players became really interested in being photographed with the film camera which helped promote the program even more.
The Spartan Family is also a phrase that our Spartan community takes pride in. Making sure to produce content and images that display helped our audience relate to the brand more. I wanted to create a community on social media that everyone could be a part of and celebrate being a Spartan.
Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok were the platforms we focused on this past year. Between August 1, 2022 - May 31, 2023, we saw 44.6k engagements, and an increase in reach by 84.8%. Our following also grew by over 15k.
