Press releases and perfunctory social media posts don’t cut it anymore. In this day and age, every organization (not just higher education) is fighting for attention. Every organization is fighting for eyeballs.
Over the years, we’ve worked with higher education institutions from community colleges to top tier universities. One of their major challenge’s is how to take the rich, in-classroom, on-campus, and now-increasingly-digital learning environment and make it accessible, meaningful, and relevant to these institutions’ broader constituents. This is where content marketing for higher ed comes into play.
It’s one of the reasons that I’m teaming up with Tom Ellett, Senior Associate Vice President of Student Affairs at New York University and Jenna Rutschman, Director of Marketing & Communications at University of Arizona, College of Social & Behavioral Sciences to bring a panel on doing this work effectively to SXSW Edu.
