In this panel discussion, Tim Cigelske (Director of Social Media, Marquette University), Erin Supinka (Social Media Manager, Dartmouth College) and Patrick Cuttica (Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Sprout Social) will talk about using analytics to inform your social strategy, secure buy-in for new initiatives and move beyond vanity metrics to measure what actually matters to your institution.
