PPF Interview with Michael Miranto of Daemen College

In July of 2011, Mike Miranto was promoted to the position of Athletic Communications Director at Daemen College after one year as the Assistant Sports Information Director.  Miranto's appointment to the position came as part of the College's efforts to reorganize and strenghten its Athletic Department in pursuit of acceptance into the NCAA Division II membership process.  In addition to his duties in this capacity, Miranto also serves the College as its Associate Head Men's Basketball Coach.

In his current role at Daemen, Miranto is primarily responsible for the daily maintenance of the Wildcats' online presence, most notably the College's athletic website.  Miranto played a leading role in the collaborative effort to broaden Daemen's online reach through the design, development and launch of the College's new athletic website (wildcats.daemen.edu) in the fall of 2012.

Miranto was also instrumental in the launch of the department's social media initiatives and now oversees the Wildcats' main Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages, as well as individual accounts for select Daemen teams.

In addition, Miranto is responsible for the department's media relations, specifically providing relevant information to local media outlets for newspaper articles, online blogs, and feature television news stories, all of which have seen a significant increase as a result of the College's pursuit of NCAA Division II membership.
