Following the launch of the World 100 SMART Tool, we hosted a webinar to help you get the most from this new initiative for World 100 Reputation Network members. SMART tracks your social media engagement on a quarterly basis across key platforms in comparison with World 100 and other leading global universities.
Our experts demonstrated the full functionality of the tool, including how to navigate the member dashboard, and how W100 member universities can maximise the use of this powerful dataset, covering key engagement metrics from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
They also explored the bespoke social media engagement reporting available to both members and non-members.
The webinar featured World 100 member universities providing insights on how social media is used effectively within their marketing and communications strategy.
We also looked at the new AURORA dashboard, another key benefit of World 100 membership. Aurora is our global media monitoring, and the only tool tailored specifically for the world’s top universities, enabling them to track their international media coverage.
