Social Media
FIT maintains an active presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok. CER manages these accounts, posting strategic content based on FIT’s brand pillars to engage and inform a wide and diverse audience. Across these channels, we have more than 340,000 followers, and growing. Recent data showed FIT’s social media channels have more followers than any of our peer institutions and any other SUNY college.
Social Media at FIT is part of the marketing and communications planning within Media and Public Relations activities. FIT's primary social media channels are managed by CER and cover major annual events, such as the Gala, Couture Council Luncheon, Sustainability Conference, Future of Fashion Runway Show, Admitted Students Day, and Commencement; student and faculty-run events around campus; and other news and activities. CER also works to coordinate various social media channels maintained by other units of the college. Advertising activity builds social media into promotional and media plans, maximizing impact by targeting messages to particular audiences.
