For Indiana University, having the ability to report on how they stack up to the competition on social media isn\u2019t just about bragging rights. \u201cOur engagement metrics speak for themselves,\u201d says Kristofer Karol, director social media strategy, \u201cwith Rival IQ we can show our worth.\u201d In the last few years the marketing team has grown, and with growth is the necessity to prove value. In a competitive industry such as higher education, showing the strength of Indiana\u2019s social channels is compelling.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 36.94444444444444% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BPdcPBlgZEZ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Congratulations from Hoosier Nation to the 2017 UCA D1A All-Girl National Champions: our Indiana University Cheerleading Program! \u2764?

With a growing team of three full-time social media marketers and student interns who work alongside the communications, creative, and web teams, organizing and prioritizing the best content from multiple sources is a challenge. Many of the university\u2019s schools and colleges have their own marketing and communication teams which mean Karol\u2019s team must balance their content with the content from other departments. It\u2019s the hardest decision for Karol and his staff, but one that is made easier with Rival IQ.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FIndianaUniversity%2Fvideos%2F10154949304959595%2F&amp;show_text=1&amp;width=700\" width=\"700\" height=\"544\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Indiana University has been able to combine their research with the data from Rival IQ to hone in on the most successful social media content. The data backs up their strategy of live-tweeting events and, using video and infographic-style images to increase their likelihood of being shared. This information helps them report back to leadership and balance the needs of multiple campuses and his department. Identifying successful content has enabled the team to focus more on how to do more with what they have &#8211; creating content that resonates across channels and maximizing its value.<\/p>\n<h2>Save Time<\/h2>\n<p>Before using Rival IQ, Karol\u2019s team tracked their own metrics manually. However, he knew that to get a better handle on the competition, they were either going to need more bandwidth or find a solution that did the work of a market researcher. Without the ability at the time to grow his team, he needed a tool that could gain insight, and easily report on social activity. This is where Rival IQ stepped in. \u201cThe interface is straightforward,\u201d says Karol \u201cit\u2019s easy to pull data and make sense of it.\u201d Karol was confident that his team would be able to use Rival IQ and understand the data.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur engagement metrics speak for themselves,\u201d says Kristofer Karol, director social media strategy, \u201cwith Rival IQ we can show our worth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Indiana University refuses to fall into the social media traps that plague many campus marketing teams. As they strive to engage their diverse audience, the social media team focuses on leaving behind the typical \u2018travel brochure\u2019 style of so many university social channels. As they continue to beat out other universities in their region, they rely on Rival IQ to help shout their successes and build an effective strategy for continuous improvements.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn More<\/h2>\n<p>Discover how your school is doing on social media in our latest Industry Benchmark Report.
