Assignment 1_MMC6994 | Establish Social Media Accounts and Persona for The Course

As part of establishing new social media accounts for MMC6994, I wavered on establishing an identity that could be used for future professional or corporate identities, but ultimately decided to use the persona of a returning student looking to learn a new trade in the Communications Management program.  Concerns about revealing too much personal information and creating potential online conflicts with my existing Facebook and Twitter accounts played a part into how much detail went into various biographical components of each page. I decided to take a neutral, professional approach that is consistent with what is on my previously established personal pages – but with an eye toward academic pursuits.

When establishing my blog, I chose to create one that is focused on the area of Communication Management that I would like to hone over the course of the program; Corporate Crisis Communications.  I look forward to using this blog to track progress, thoughts and assignments that will get me closer to the goal of seguing my career from banking to a more formal communications, or public relations role within large organizations.  All accounts were created to be publicly viewed by peers in the program, whom I don’t know personally and will more than likely only interact with them virtually throughout the semester.
