Digital communication is essential for all global organizations but critical for those aimed at young people. In addition to our annual research project for W100 members, The World 100 Reputation Network Digital Approach research project set out to explore approaches to online communications at top global universities. The research explores budgets, teams, in-house capacity, outsourcing, approaches to monitoring and evaluating digital communications, policies and guidelines, internal training and more.
The survey was developed in conjunction with digital communications representatives from seven leading global universities in the UK, Europe and North America. The research findings are based on survey responses from heads of digital at 37 universities across 15 countries.
The final version of the report from the research, The Digital Approach: Resources and structures for online communications, was published in June 2017.
