Blog

by | Jul 2, 2021 | Content Roundup

I read and watch and listen to a lot of content throughout the week. I talk with colleagues about what is working and not working for them in order to keep learning. Each week, I share some of the highest quality higher ed marketing content. 

On Fridays, we wrap up content shared for the week along with that created by our team at Caylor Solutions in one content roundup.

Video: 3 Powerful Ways to Drive Enrollment With Personalized Content. If you write and create marketing content, I don’t have to tell you about the power of connection to your audience.
