FIR on Higher Education #33 – Communicating the Impact of Your Location

Unless you are totally online, we are all based somewhere. We need to highlight the value of where we teach and research, whether it’s a dynamic cosmopolitan city, a sunny fun destination or perhaps a “boring” location.

On FIR on Higher Education #33, brand strategist Julian Stubbs will share insights on how we can effectively communicate the value of our locations. He brings a unique perspective as the architect behind Stockholm, Sweden’s branding project.

In our reports section, I talk about reasons deans tweet, while technology correspondent Harry Hawk summarizes a new blogging initiative that he has started with his students.
