Formerly with Oregon Health Sciences University, and currently with her independent consultancies Med|Ed Digital and Work With Tiller, Columbo&#8217;s career has been defined by helping a plethora of clients build their brands and make better decisions about how they reach, engage, and convert audiences online.<\/p>\n<p>Students emerge from Strategic Social Media able to successfully run social media campaigns over multiple platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. However, social media strategy goes beyond just pressing the &#8220;post&#8221; button. Through this course, students learn about content planning, analytics, and the importance of an editorial calendar. In addition to content strategy, students grasp the importance of hashtag usage and how to identify appropriate influencers for clients.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of Spring term, the students of COMM323 split into teams and took on the task of establishing a creative blog and a promotional social media campaign for any topic of their choice. Over the course of the term, students slowly began to understand the concepts involved in running a strategic social media campaign online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The teamwork in COMM323 is excellent!&#8221; said Professor Columbo. &#8220;Watching students respond and grow in their strategic thinking is really satisfying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The teams also apply their knowledge, gathered through industry articles, case studies, and online discussions, to further develop their brand identity and social media campaigns. The team&#8217;s topics included off-the-grid spots in Southern Oregon, technology, and local coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Although these may have seemed like simple subjects for social media campaigns, many students in COMM323 have realized that it takes a lot of work to direct web traffic to online platforms through a compelling social strategy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/academics\/communication\/\">Learn more about the Communication program here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"micro-text\"><em>Story by Sophie Passerini, @SophiePasserini<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-n7tq3s-3aca2e4a4e82eb815642b276fb6d9696 av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this entry<\/h5><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href="https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/faculty-focus-jess-columbo-teaches-strategic-social-media\/&#038;t=Faculty%20Focus%3A%20Jess%20Columbo%20Teaches%20Strategic%20Social%20Media" aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on X\" href="https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Faculty%20Focus%3A%20Jess%20Columbo%20Teaches%20Strategic%20Social%20Media&#038;url=https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/?p=69294" aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue932' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on X'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on X<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href="https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=Faculty%20Focus%3A%20Jess%20Columbo%20Teaches%20Strategic%20Social%20Media&#038;url=https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/faculty-focus-jess-columbo-teaches-strategic-social-media\/" aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href="mailto:?subject=Faculty%20Focus%3A%20Jess%20Columbo%20Teaches%20Strategic%20Social%20Media&#038;body=https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/faculty-focus-jess-columbo-teaches-strategic-social-media\/" aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-vhigko-dfc5a8d3e59de71a71b8ec6268d2f646\">\n.flex_column.av-vhigko-dfc5a8d3e59de71a71b8ec6268d2f646{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-vhigko-dfc5a8d3e59de71a71b8ec6268d2f646 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Communication program at 麻豆传媒女神 has offered a course in Strategic Social Media since 2015, but our section of COMM323 in the Spring of 2019 added a new twist: prominent Portland-based social media strategist Jess Columbo joined our faculty to teach an online version of the popular course.<\/p>\n<div class=\"avia-button-wrap avia-button-left\"><a class=\"avia-button avia-color-dark avia-size-large avia-position-left \" href=\"\/academics\/faculty-focus-jess-columbo-teaches-strategic-social-media\" aria-label=\"Read More about Faculty Focus: Jess Columbo Teaches Strategic Social Media\">READ MORE<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":69306,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[127,284],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-aside","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-communication","category-featured","post_format-post-format-aside"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) -
