The Communication and Social Media Officer (CSMO) is responsible of the organization of all the web pages (main website and social media), their development and maintenance, through a strategic way of communication and promotion of Adyan’s mission and messages. The CSMO is also the administrator of Adyan’s online platform for e-learning and other academic online activities. Since these websites and pages have each one its own format and structure, and since the information and content is provided by the different departments carrying the programs, the CSMO’ main role consists of optimizing the use of these communication tools and information spreading through increasing the number of members and users, attracting commenters, developing SEO, in addition to the update of these pages and the support provided to all their users. Thus, on the strategic level, the CSMO helps in enhancing the quality of the information through a better presentation and in the continuous development of the webpages. On the technical level, the CSMO provides an ongoing support to the internal (Adyan team) or external users (visitors, students…) allowing them to feel they are in a friendly and comfortable space. All this work is done under the direction of Adyan’s CEO and in collaboration with the department directors and programs and Networks’ coordinators.
