(PRWEB) February 16, 2015 -- Showcasing faculty experts is vital for colleges and universities. The insights in faculty research papers, videos, and presentations are invaluable to many people, but are often scattered across the internet in academic journals, news sites, social media, and personal accounts. This makes it difficult for institutions to find and share valuable information and for news media or conference planners to learn about people who may have fresh insights into topics of wide interest.
To help solve this problem, mStoner and ExpertFile entered into a partnership to offer an innovative joint solution to higher education, combining a state-of-the-art solution for managing experts and the content they generate with strategic and consulting expertise from the most experienced web development team serving higher ed.
ExpertFile’s platform offers colleges and universities a turnkey, cloud-based solution to a perennial problem for PR offices and marketers. ExpertFile’s Expert Marketing Platform enables PR staff or a faculty member to quickly assemble and curate an expert profile showcasing their expertise, appearances in the media, postings on social media, and other content. The profile is fully customizable to match any institutional branding and the content is easily embeddable within a .edu website. ExpertFile helps PR professionals connect their faculty experts to real-time news, increasing the interest of journalists looking for expert opinions to cite in their articles or news segments, and gaining additional visibility and exposure for the expert and their institution.
Higher ed professionals can partner with mStoner to evaluate current faculty content on their site and optimize the ExpertFile platform. mStoner will recommend best practices tailored to each client, identify further opportunities to integrate ExpertFile with a home page, academic department and program pages, news centers, and other areas of a website, and make recommendations to successfully roll-out ExpertFile on your campus.
