Biography

Tim Brixius began his career as an assistant web manager in Franklin & Marshall's Communications & Marketing Office shortly after graduating from F&M in 2000. In fact, he also worked in the office as a student employee, designing posters, laying out brochures and indexing an extensive library of photographic slides.

As the College created and developed social media accounts, Tim's diverse skill set in content curation, graphic design, photograhpy and video editing allowed him to evolve into his current role managing those emerging marketing channels. Today, he workes with F&M's creative team to manage strategy, content and communities across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. Additionally, he advises departments and offices on their own use of social media and contributes to managing F&M's web presence.
