Light to Moderate Push Light Push Heavy Push
MassMedia recognizes that there are times of the year to push heavier for enrollment and recognition.
• The school year is an important time to align enrollment messaging with the application cycle for next year’s
incoming students, while also focusing on existing students and campus life.
• Early summer is a time of recognition and storytelling – highlighting graduation and the bright future ahead.
• Late summer is the time to increase the frequency of posts promoting enrollment opportunities and financial
assistance availability.
