Chapter 8 Reflection

    I do not have Pinterest, but I am not really sure why. I think my main reason for not adding it was because I didn’t think I could handle another social media site. However, I use multiple sites already and Pinterest seems like a site that I would enjoy.

    In my Voice & Movement class yesterday, my group was looking up inspiration images on Pinterest for our group movement piece that we are creating ourselves. When I told them that I didn’t have Pinterest, they all seemed surprised. I’ve never really thought about why I didn’t have Pinterest until yesterday in class.

    According to Chapter 8 in “Essentials of Social Media Marketing”, you can pin images and videos to different boards, which are clusters of related ideas. You can share your boards with other people and save boards from others, too. There are a lot of times where I take artistic inspiration from images – both in my professional field of theatre and elsewhere. This is one of the big reasons why I would like to try out Pinterest for myself.

    Another element I found in the book was the description section of each pin board. A brand can put in a description with key words, a call to action, and many other important pieces you may find in a bio on another social media site. Having a description makes it easier to find pins and boards that you are interested in and makes it easier for brand boards to be found.

    I am hoping to download Pinterest today and make some of my own pins and pin boards. I will let you know what I think! 😊

    That’s cool that your two classes lined up and covered Pinterest so close together. Did you notice anyone using Pinterest the way the book described during your exploration in your other class? That’s also nice that you were able to find another platform that seems to match your interests. It’s always fun to find a new place that has content you are interested in.

Essentials of Social Media Marketing Textbook Review

     Essentials for Social Media Marketing has been a really beneficial resource for this course and easy to navigate. I know now that I did not utilize the textbook to its full extent in the first half of the semester because I didn’t really have the time to sit down and explore the different elements in each chapter. However, in the second half of this semester, I really took advantage of the PowerPoints and chapter quizzes to familiarize myself with the material and study for the final exam.      I feel like the content in each chapter was very easy to understand and the layout of each section made sense to me. I had an online textbook in my history course over the summer and that was a nightmare for me – it was all text with very minimal headings or chapter organization. This online textbook was so easy to work with and made the information easier to comprehend. I definitely liked the set-up much better than any other experience with an online textbook material.      The simulation

Chapter 13 Reflection

     This week in “Essentials of Social Media Marketing”, I read about social media marketing campaigns. I think this is really interesting and is probably the chapter that ties the most to my Arts Administration minor. In Arts Admin, even this semester in Grant Writing, we always talk about the many campaigns and processes run in order to keep a non-profit successful and to promote their work. Next fall, I will be taking Arts Marketing & Audience Development, which will tie even more into the idea of creating, planning, and overseeing a marketing campaign. I believe that is actually the final project for that course. It is cool to have some prior experience learning about a more specific kind of marketing campaign through this class – a social media marketing campaign.      Now, I know that currently I do not use many social media sites for my own personal use. However, I feel like taking this course is preparing me for using social media when it comes to Arts Administration and p

Social Media Podcast

     I made my first ever podcast this weekend! Our podcast assignment was intended to discuss social media issues and topics. I knew right away after looking at the rubric who I wanted to join me in this podcast. Ruthie Osowski is our Social Media Coordinator for ONU Theatre Arts and, she manages all of our social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. She was also that main person in charge of our social media content during the run of Beauty and the Beast.    We discussed some really interesting topics, including how she got her position with ONU Theatre Arts, what some challenges are as it pertains to social media managing, what her process was like for planning the content in regard to Beauty and the Beast, some of the issues she had to deal with on different social media platforms with B&B content and, her personal take on the differences between running a personal social media account versus a professional social media account.      Ruthie is a year above me but,
