Engage Every Audience.
One Platform.
From prospective students to proud alumni, your institution speaks to diverse audiences every day. Social9 helps higher education teams create, coordinate, and publish social content that reflects your values at scale.
Higher Ed Social Media Is Uniquely Complex
No other industry manages as many audiences, accounts, and stakeholders on social media as higher education.
Dozens of Accounts, No Central Strategy
Admissions, athletics, alumni, student life, and individual colleges all have social accounts. Without coordination, your institutional brand becomes fragmented and inconsistent.
Revolving Door of Student Workers
Student social media managers graduate every year. Institutional knowledge walks out the door, and you are constantly retraining new team members on brand voice and content strategy.
Competing for Attention with Consumer Brands
Prospective students live on TikTok and Instagram. Your institution needs to create engaging, platform-native content - but higher education content often feels stiff and institutional.
International Student Recruitment
Reaching prospective students in different countries and languages requires localized content. Translation and cultural adaptation at scale is expensive and slow.

Request a DemoFrequently Asked Questions
Can Social9 manage multiple department accounts?
Yes. Social9 supports multi-workspace management, allowing your central marketing team to oversee social accounts for admissions, athletics, alumni relations, individual colleges, and student life - all from one platform. Each department gets its own content calendar, brand voice settings, and approval workflows while maintaining institutional consistency.
How does Social9 ensure brand consistency across the university?
Social9 lets you set institutional brand guidelines, approved terminology, visual standards, and tone of voice at the organizational level. Every department's AI-generated content adheres to these guidelines automatically. Your central team can set guardrails while giving departments creative freedom within approved parameters.
Is Social9 compliant with FERPA and accessibility requirements?
Social9 takes compliance seriously. We do not store or process student records, so FERPA concerns around student data are minimized. Our platform follows WCAG 2.1 guidelines, and all AI-generated content can be configured to meet accessibility standards including alt-text suggestions and readable formatting.
Can student workers use Social9 safely?
Yes. Social9 offers role-based permissions so student workers can draft content without publishing access. Multi-step approval workflows ensure a professional staff member reviews and approves all content before it goes live. You can restrict access by department, platform, and action type.
