Make the End of the World Yours: Marquette in Social Media

Tom Pionek and Dave Murphy remember when the world was going to end. Tom and Dave, both directors in Marquette University’s Office of Marketing and Communication, brought today’s #musocial media audience back to May 21, 2011. That Saturday in May was predicted to be Judgment Day. The day after, May 22, was the university’s graduation ceremonies.

Responding to the rapture buzz in social media, Marquette’s Twitter account (managed by Tim Cigelske) tweeted: “The world can’t end before #mu11 graduation. The Jesuits have some influence in this department #Rapture.” In this one-minute audio clip, Tom Pionek explains how Marquette weaved Jesuit themes into a social media meme.

Herb and Mira Lowe: A Love Storify

@HerbertLowe knows social media isn’t a 9-to-5 job. A professional in residence at Marquette’s Diederich College of Communication, Herb said online engagement happens 24/7. He suggested interacting outside of work hours — and outside of work topics. “The more comfortable you become with [social media] for fun,” he said, “the better you will be at it for work.”

Herb spoke at the monthly @MarquetteU social media meet-up and recommended a content mix of “33 percent information, 33 percent news and 33 percent personal.” Using Storify to combine tweets, pictures and videos, Herb shared his personal experience cleaning in Garysburg, N.C., last year and made his wife, @MiraLowe, famous on the Fourth of July.
