Seventeen-year-old Bill Carlson was there. Trying to hone his craft, Carlson was eager to grab an unclaimed press pass and shoot the Beatles’ arrival at the airport, the press conference and the concert that followed. Carlson took more than 140 photographs that day, capturing the personality of the Beatles and their fans in spontaneous, casual, black-and-white images. READ MORE

Effective Student Marketing Launches New Social Media Campaign for Charter College

Effective Student Marketing recently launched a new social media campaign for Charter College.

Andover, MA July-7, 2010 Effective Student Marketing (ESM) has created and launched a new social media

campaign for Charter College. The campaign includes an extensive Facebook page that will help to integrate students, graduates, faculty, and prospects into the school’s online community.

ESM is working hard with Charter College to create a Facebook presence that helps to centralize the school’s ten campuses. Charter College offers career-focused education in Business, Healthcare, Criminal Justice and Information Technology, and has campuses in California, Washington, and Alaska, as well as a virtual, online campus. With such a diverse population, Charter College needed a way to bring everyone together and create a sense of community. Social media, especially Facebook, is one way that ESM is helping them do that.

“We’re working hard to make sure that the Charter College page includes something for everyone. This Facebook page is going to include a lot of innovative techniques that we’ve designed specifically to meet Charter’s unique needs,” explained Andy Kelley, President of Effective Student Marketing.

One feature of the Charter College Facebook page that is unique to the school is the “Current Students” tab. Charter College works hard to showcase successful students on a special website called Charter Success. This website includes campus news, photos, and short stories about students who have worked hard during their time at school. ESM worked with Charter College to create a special tab on the Facebook page that highlights some of the most important events and stories from the Charter Success website, creating a constant stream of positive stories for the Facebook page.

“The Charter Success website is a huge part of the school’s culture, so we knew that we had to include it on the Facebook page. Creating a special tab where we can post articles and an events calendar has worked really well so far, and we’ve seen a lot of positive responses from students on the page itself,” Kelley said. “Of course, the students wouldn’t be where they are today without the support of the faculty and staff. And that is what the faculty tab is for – to showcase these positive role models.” READ MORE
