With the combined technology of Libris and Socialie, the communications team behind Samford University Athletics is empowering student athletes to share professional photos in real time while a game is top of mind. By sharing content directly with students, their engagement is now up 68% on Twitter, and they have expanded their reach by over 469,399 followers.

Here's how it works:

• Photographers on the sidelines send photos wirelessly from the field to Libris, the department's cloud-based digital asset management platform.
• Once the images are tagged with a specific keyword in Libris, they are instantly texted to individual college athletes via Socialie.
• Athletes can then share Samford-branded gameday photos to their personal social media platforms and engage with fans directly.

"Samford University is using Libris and Socialie to take real-time visual storytelling to the next level," says Andrew Fingerman, CEO of PhotoShelter. "They're empowering student athletes to share content instantly, and as a result, they're creating a wave of energy and excitement for the school and its followers."

"We've made a real investment in technology that can help boost ROI by leveraging the social media networks of students," says Kevin Young, the Associate Athletics Director for Marketing and Strategic Communications for Samford Athletics. "Today, we're the only school sending gameday images directly from the camera to athletes to share within minutes. By using smart technology combined with grassroots marketing, we're seeing an enormous bump in engagement across the board."
