Keene State AD Marty Testo sits down with the Keene Sentinel’s Mike McMahon to discuss the trio of new programs coming online and bringing widespread success back to KSC. On the latter, Testo points to facility upgrades and new, notable sports in Ice Hockey and Esports as positives that the Owls can use to “attract more student-athletes, higher quality student-athletes and also do a better job of catching on to the backside of the success of programs, like our Men’s Basketball program,” adding: “We’ve got to keep trying to find the right athlete for this right school and make sure that we can give them the best price possible that their family can afford.” Testo believes Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey will have early community support given the popularity of the sport in the area and the support already displayed through events and club team games.

Social n Sport’s Jessica Smith offers some advice on how sports organizations should measure social media goals. Smith explains that setting YoY goals for engagements, impressions, followers and other metrics are good to keep track of but “living and breathing by these metrics and thinking they are a key indicator of good work is a miss.” For one, there are too many uncontrollable variables associated with sports, especially winning & losing. Smith advises that any “goal-setting initiative should start with the overall organizational goals. What is the business trying to achieve, and how can social and content support those?” For instance, if increasing revenue is the goal, then an objective might be: “Create a digital playbook for the sponsorship team by Q1 that features sellable assets to assist sales efforts.” Smith closes: “Don’t get caught up in the rat race of trying to reach x number of total impressions in a season. Anyone can play that game, but the strongest social teams play the game of achieving goals and objectives that actually map back to the business.” (link)
