Case Study: Moraine Valley Community College achieves real-time high-res social sharing and boosted engagement with PhotoShelter for Brands

How to Beat the Smart Phone and Publish High Res Images to Social Media in a Flash

Moraine Valley Community College faced a common communications challenge: how to beat attendees' smartphones to social media with high-resolution, professionally shot images so their event coverage would stand out and drive real-time engagement. Staff wanted the immediacy of an iPhone post with the quality and control of a DSLR.

Their solution combined a DSLR with a wireless transmitter and a cellular MiFi hotspot to FTP images straight into a Libris/PhotoShelter library, where the social media manager could download and post them within seconds. The result was real-time, high‑quality social posts that increased followers and engagement, boosted event turnout, and let the college control its visual messaging.
