In his own inimitable way Ken Burns provided the graduating class of Brandeis University what I consider a most brilliant commencement speech this year. My four key take-aways:
1. Leadership is humility and generosity.
2. Remember the opposite of faith is not doubt. Doubt is central to faith. The opposite of faith is certainty.
3. Don't confuse success with excellence.
4. Insist that we support science and the arts, especially the arts. They have nothing to do with the defense of our country; they just make our county worth defending.
Take a listen to a most exceptional address.
🎉 What an exciting milestone update! I am thrilled to share our remarkable journey on LinkedIn – in the past 6 years, we've experienced phenomenal growth in followers, from humble beginnings with 288 followers in Nov 2018 to an impressive 1400 in Jan 2024! 📊✨
For those of you who don't track marketing data like 'number of followers' or engagement rate - these statistics are important indicators of business communication health and open communication with stakeholders.
Here's what I'm the proudest of:🌟 In 2023, our social strategy changed to include stronger external engagement - what a game-changer in analytics. We actively connected with key stakeholders from Industry & Government, resulting in a significant surge in our followers and a more dynamic online community of researchers, academics, industry experts and government agencies working in research. In hindsight, why didn't we do this earlier?
🚀 One of the standout achievements of the year was working with the University Research portfolio to identify the need for their own LinkedIn Company page for the research community - welcome ANU Research and Innovation. We also progressed a working rapport with the team behind The Australian National University Company Page and all the schools and college pages across campus - critical for symbiotic social rapport.
💬 On a personal note, I was thrilled when our Company page got likes and comments from Industry and Government stakeholders, such as our friends at Grains Research and Development Corporation, Giant Magellan Telescope, and Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, amongst many others this year. I saw this as an evolution of our branding journey and our commitment to building collaborations in the academic and research landscape as well as the society our research serves.
👥 Quality engagement has been at the heart of our success. Our internal stakeholders, the incredible team at ANU Enterprise, played a pivotal role by contributing authentic content, having optimised profiles and sharing posts, and amplifying our reach and impact. Our social and communications training program and communication strategy certainly supported and enabled those who sought guidance.💜
🔍 A standout moment for me was our post highlighting our collaboration and support for a project on The Giant Magellan Telescope. The overwhelming response not only resonated with our followers but also prompted the main social account from ANU to spotlight this groundbreaking research and its impact - goals! We quickly dived into the loving embrace of the international telescope community. 🔭
🙌 Finally, T H A N K Y O U to my colleagues and to our followers. This milestone wouldn't be possible without our growing community! As we celebrate this achievement, I invite you all to stay engaged and connected.
Here's to more milestones and exciting endeavours in 2024! 🚀🌐 #ANUEnterprise#EngagementSuccess#MarketingMilestones
