They directly manage more than 90 school districts, and coach/mentor more than 200 other schools. But Andrea didn’t always know what worked. When she started her business in 2014, she wished she had someone helping her answer questions like: What platform should I start with? How important is my school hashtag? Should every school in my district have its own Facebook page? What kind of videos do best? How do I represent everything that is going on in my school when I’m only one person? You’ll discover why thousands of educators follow Andrea’s advice on social media and even have fun while listening. Hit “subscribe” and get ready to master social media for your school!

April 22, 2024 • Andrea Gribble • Episode 211

From the moment I looked at Downingtown Area School District's social media pages, I knew I needed to feature the brilliant people behind their social media storytelling! Today, you’ll meet Jenn and Allison.
Learn how Jenn added a communications manager role to her district of 13,0000 students in 2022 so they could focus on the day-to-day stories happening in their 16 schools.
How do you grow your Instagram followers? Allison will share her insight—and you must check out their Instagram page!
There are a lot of different categories of content to share. Find out what the 8 A’s stand for and how Downingtown uses them to drive its social media strategy.
