Establishing a social media presence and a brand voice to communicate research to a broader audience.

The Internal Communication Research Hub (ICRH) is within the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications, and led by Public Relations Professor Rita Men, Ph.D.

I began working with Dr. Men shortly after the ICRH was created and built a social media following around sharing research studies in internal communication.

My Role

I act as the ICRH’s social media manager. Part of this means connecting with members of the Thought Leadership Circle, which is a group of over 30 academic and industry experts in internal communication that is constantly growing in size, to highlight the studies and research resources being published globally.

  • Responsible for crafting compelling and relevant content weekly to resonate with the target audience and thought leaders worldwide.
  • Collaborate with the ICRH team to showcase research resources through visual storytelling methods and captivating social media posts.
  • Monitor and analyze social media performance, spreading awareness and sharing insights into internal communication’s role in shaping organizations.

Communicating research concisely and properly

Red ink. And a lot of revisions.

Writing for a research-based organization was a new experience and thought process. It required some creative problem solving and design experimentation to find a proper layout for showcasing data.

For the ICRH, figuring out how to condense research findings into a square post on someone’s feed is a fun challenge.

Reviewing the results, discussion and conclusion sections of the author’s published research study has helped me to create content that explains the key takeaways.
