Why should students care about Social Listening?

Social Listening goes beyond likes, comments, and shares. It’s the process of analyzing and interpreting online conversations to generate insights that inform strategic decision-making.

Understanding the “why” behind social media conversations is what helps organizations make data-driven decisions and stronger connections with their audience.

With the MEL, students have the opportunity to work with industry-standard tools to build these strategic skills!

These analytics were taken from a Social Listening query on Bradley University from reporting period, October 1–15, 2026.

We had the pleasure of hosting 2016 Graphic Design graduate Lettering Works | Chicago Souvenir Designer Chelsie Tamms at Bradley in the Art & Design department this week!

She spent time talking with our students about her lessons from 10 years in business and led a hands-on workshop that pushed everyone to think differently about their creative process.

Thank you, Chelsie, for generously sharing your time, expertise, and perspective with our students. Experiences like this make a real difference in how they see themselves as artists and designers.
