  3. The word on the street… People talking about you is the best form of advertising/pr No publicity is bad publicity?! Image courtesy of vaticanus on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/vaticanus/333445080/

  4. Some facts • People are going to talk about you… • … down the pub, in the local post office or on a social networking site or blog… they’ll still talk… they still say the same things… • The boundaries are blurred; it’s common to mix business/study with pleasure • Students don’t come into Uni and leave their personal lives at home… • … but neither do staff!!!

  6. Our approach… “ Everyone’s on it ” • Great! • We’ll make it even easier for you! • We have a range of communication channels but we’ll plug them into Facebook (and the like) and plug your social networking tools into our portal(s) too “ Really useful ” Image courtesy of redking on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/redking/1934240/
