The last 18 months have taught us the value and impact of genuine engagement. They have cemented the role our universities play as anchor institutions in our communities. And they have thrown us all into a digital-first environment.
The University of Newcastle took this time to reinvent its engagement with community by breaking down the barriers between brand and communications through storytelling.
In this webinar, we will explore an ecosystem that allows stories to live longer and reach further – developing a genuine connection with our audience that nurtures a deeper understanding of the positive impact we have in our communities.
- Date: 20th October 2021
- Time: 9 AM UK // 7 PM Sydney
- Duration: 1 hour
- Location: Online
Can’t attend the webinar itself? The webinar plus Q&A will be available on-demand for members who couldn’t attend.
