  • Great podcast for a newbie managing social media that doesn’t have a background on PR

    I am brand new at my role managing social media in my district and I don’t have a background in PR or Communications, my title is Executive Assistant and I also co-manage the website. I love this podcast and I have been following advice from it as well as getting ideas from it. Definitely highly recommended!

From Students to Storytellers: Building a Student Influencer Program That Works with Jeanise Dimitri
Q: How did the decision to create a student influencer program come about, and what were the first steps to implement it?
