This included building brand on the web, online reputation management – and getting the word out about Bishop’s via Social Media for recruitment purposes.
To do this Jason used his expertise with Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to give the university a social media presence and prominent visibility and high engagement via these social media sites. Thanks to Jason’s hard work and knowledge, Bishop’s University was ranked as best university Canada using Facebook in terms of Fan interaction and Student to Fan ratio by Academica Group Inc.
