Samford University has partnered with photo management platform Libris and social media company Socialie to streamline the delivery of digital assets to student-athletes’ personal accounts.
The Samford-Libris-Socialie integration launched on Aug. 16 for a soccer game but extends to all sports. Images captured by photographers at an event are uploaded to Photoshelter’s Libris platform and can be instantly texted to athletes. By the time a game ends, the students will see the photos on their phones and can post them to social media accounts such as Twitter and Instagram.
“Samford University is using Libris and Socialie to take real-time visual storytelling to the next level,” Andrew Fingerman, CEO of PhotoShelter, said in a statement. “They’re empowering student athletes to share content instantly, and as a result, they’re creating a wave of energy and excitement for the school and its followers.”
