University Business is running a three-part insight piece by our director Max, on digital and stakeholder engagement in the university sector.

Part one - 'The state of things' - this article explores five states of university brands in a digital world, and the threat of becoming faceless when they lack differentation. Moving up the scale, we go from a passive 'business as usual' state, to using digital as an opportunity to engage with stakeholders and co-produce university brands.

Part two - 'Aiming for the apex of engagement' - this article addresses the power of sourcing brand ambassadors, and the ineffectiveness of constantly playing catch up and trying to influence reputation on every social platform.

Part three - 'Digital maturity needs brand coherence' - this article emphasises that in order to achieve true digital maturity and engage effectively with your stakeholders, you need brand coherence in the first place.
