In the fiercely competitive world of higher education, colleges and universities must master public relations (PR) to attract new students. The five critical PR aspects that determine success are brand reputation and image, effective use of social media and digital marketing, compelling storytelling and content creation, crisis management and communication, and engagement and community building. A college's branded Lookatmedia™ online newsroom is a powerful tool in achieving these outcomes.

Telling Compelling Stories and Creating Engaging Content
Engaging content that tells the university’s story is vital. A branded Lookatmedia™ newsroom enables universities to highlight unique programs, student achievements, and campus life through videos, blogs, student testimonials, and virtual tours. These immersive experiences give prospective students a vivid picture of university life, making the institution more appealing and relatable. When amplified through trusted media sources, this content can dramatically increase the reach of the university's stories to a more diverse pool of journalists and content creators.
