Karen Freberg // Social Media Professor Running on Coffee

Published: Nov. 2, 2017, 10:30 a.m.

Is it possible that university curriculum can keep up with the ever-changing speed of social media? My guest today believes so, with a lot of coffee and commitment. In this episode, Dr. Karen Freberg discusses life as a social media professor, from developing lesson plans to partnerships with companies like General Motors and Louisville Bats to Hootsuite and Adobe. Karen shares the ways that her time as a record-setting college athlete helped shape her career path in sports marketing, where her digital storytelling skills started with her first website gifted from her parents and how she taps into communities on twitter and facebook to build a community of social media professors.
