Beyond UBC: Social media and digital marketing
Beyond.ubc.ca is the website arm of Brand and Marketing’s larger digital marketing strategy. Our content marketing includes social media content creation, paid social media promotion and content curation through key institutional channels. We produce original stories and curate those produced around the university, and create standalone content tailored to Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube.
We work closely with UBC Media Relations, which pitches stories to media. If you are a member of the media looking for the latest news, UBC experts or advisories, please see UBC News.
