Accounts that do not adhere to UB’s social media or brand guidelines will not be recognized as an official account and may be reported for trademark/copyright infringement.
Please work with your unit’s senior communicator and/or social media manager to determine the best profile image for your channel.

If your account represents a service at UB rather than a specific unit or department, or you share a social media account with other UB departments or units, use your profile name, username and bio to reflect the purpose of your account instead of listing departmental names. Shared accounts or service-related accounts should follow the brand extension profile image guidelines, as detailed above.
