Creative dynamo--welcome to Mooseville

The dynamic mayor of Mooseville with #clarkclass
If there's a short word for "creativity," it must be "Moose." Moose Tyler, my friend, former UCO colleague and perhaps the most multi-talented creative person I've ever known.
I know, that sentence is too long. So?
What a pleasure to have her return to campus  with her non-political correctness conversation in media and experience  to energize, astound, and make all of us laugh and learn.
Moose is now doing social media and more for several clients, including photography in Mexico, writing another novel, doing video, etc. (She "fired" a lucrative marijuana dispensary because  they were too "stoned" to plan and cooperate.) 
Student comments and #Moosequotes afterwards:

  • “If you’re posting sh*t, it’ll make your brand look like sh*t”. -
  • "YouTube - the trailer park of video sharing.
  • "You have to engage to be effective but you have to engage the right way."
  • "Twitter is really difficult to wrangler for a brand”-
  • “When you hit your limit, it is really important not to short yourself. Take care of yourself, learn how to say no.”
  • Social media is a 24/7 job and always have a goal for what you post.
  • "No business wants to do social media, but they want to pay people to do it."
  • What prepared Moose for her work? Answer: Teaching a lot. Also, working in media in New York. Before social media was big. “My learning hasn’t stopped.”
  • “You have to engage to be effective, but you have to engage the right way.”
  • “Your work/life balance is critical.”
  • "If you don't know what to post, take a professional stance. Journalists, post journalism related things. Business, art, what ever your topic is"
  • Be purposeful with social media posts.
  • Social media takes consistency, it’s not a “now media.”
  • Moose Tyler is an incredible human! She is real and raw and I learned so much from her today. She told us to be consistent and to always have creative content!
  • Not every post needs a deep meaning, but every post should have meaning.
