The empirical data cover the period 2023-2024; social media analytics services are used to assess activity and audience engagement. The study reveals that promotion effectiveness is determined not so much by the volume of publication activity as by content quality, strategic consistency, and personalization of communication. Significant correlations are identified between the number of applications submitted, state-funded admission quotas, social media audience size, and official website usability. Visual and emotionally rich content, as well as a lively tone of communication, are shown to enhance engagement. The findings can be used to optimize communication strategies in the increasingly competitive higher education market.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>На основе компаративного анализа официальных сайтов, аккаунтов «ВКонтакте» и «Телеграм» факультетов журналистики пяти ведущих российских университетов (Национальный исследовательский университет «Высшая школа экономики» - НИУ ВШЭ, Московский государственный университет - МГУ, Санкт-Петербургский государственный университет - СПбГУ, Российская академия народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте Росийской Федерации - РАНХиГС, Московский государственный институт международных отношений - МГИМО) исследуются современные инструменты медийного продвижения образовательных услуг. Эмпирическая база охватывает период 2023-2024 гг., для оценки активности и вовлеченности аудитории используются данные сервисов аналитики социальных медиа. Выявлено, что эффективность продвижения определяется не столько объемом публикационной активности, сколько качеством контента, последовательностью стратегии и персонализацией коммуникации. Установлены значимые корреляции между числом поданных заявлений, количеством бюджетных мест, размером аудитории в социальных сетях и удобством официального сайта. Показано, что визуальный и эмоционально насыщенный контент, живой тон общения способствуют росту вовлеченности. Результаты могут быть использованы для оптимизации коммуникационных стратегий вузов в условиях усиливающейся конкуренции на рынке высшего образования.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>optimization of the media ecosystem</kwd><kwd>social media</kwd><kwd>content marketing</kwd><kwd>audience engagement</kwd><kwd>SPSS Statistics</kwd><kwd>trast formation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>оптимизация медийной экосистемы</kwd><kwd>социальные сети</kwd><kwd>контент-маркетинг</kwd><kwd>вовлеченность аудитории</kwd><kwd>SPSS Statistics</kwd><kwd>формирование доверия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Brech, F.M., Messer, U., Vander Schee, B.A., Rauschnabel, P.A., &amp; Ivens, B.S.
