The social wall is for use during our summer festival in The Jennie Kassanoff & Dan Schulman Welcome Center, located on the main path in the middle of our campus. The advantage of the social wall for us is being able to represent all the members of our community and spread awareness of our many different programs.
Because our target audience is highly social and likely to be on multiple social media platforms, we thought that a social wall really suited our needs. So we launched the hashtag #MaritimeWomenPhotoShare and to participate, participants could either use the hashtag on Twitter or Instagram or simply submit their photos using an email address we created for that purpose. And with the wall, it created this mosaic of working maritime women which was really empowering and inspiring, and more and more women joined.
Using Walls.io removes the complexities of aggregating posts from various social channels so we could hit the ground running with our campaign. Instead of pulling in posts from various sources, we were able to focus on the UX of our landing page and strategy for this year-long campaign. Walls.io has a robust API that we were quickly able to hook into and pull our collection of posts into a custom landing page. Walls.io also has fantastic customer/developer support between their documentation and super-responsive live chat agents.
The social wall was a key element of our social media and engagement strategy throughout the conferences, providing an excellent collage of experiences throughout.
We use specific hashtags for our employer branding initiatives, and it’s helpful because the content tagged with these hashtags is aggregated automatically on our career website. This way, potential candidates can see all our employer branding activities on social media.
Not all colleagues have social media or LinkedIn, so for that internal purpose, having Walls.io helps display and share passion and dedication from colleagues. It inspires other colleagues to do the same. It’s a great solution for keeping company culture together, and we’re very happy with it.
