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, we have worked together since my freshman year here at ONU. In the Fall 2020 semester, Ruthie and I both participated in Windowed Pain, the Pop-Up Dance Concert on campus. This was before Ruthie received her position with ONU Theatre Arts as our Social Media Coordinator. In the Spring 2021 semester, Ruthie was my choreographer for Shift: Spring Dance Concert. I worked with her for a whole month on a tap duet, along with my dance partner Zach Ryan. I learned a lot about Ruthie during this month and her professional attitude in rehearsals. After Shift ended, Ruthie took on the role of Social Media Coordinator. It was really interesting to get to talk with her about her new position and see how much work she puts into it, especially after seeing her in action with an entirely different skillset during Shift!

    Hi Emily, it's always entertaining to read your blogs. I like to see a side of ONU that I do not ever get to experience. It seems like you've had a great run with the theater arts program, I'm glad you are enjoying it. I look forward to reading more about your experiences!

    Hi Emily! I love to see the support inside our program, and I’m interested in seeing the details of Ruthie’s position! It definitely helped during Beauty to have someone running all of our posts.

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
