Episode Notes

In this episode of Attention Retention, Angie, Clayton, and Zach share new ideas for how enrollment marketers can leverage the latest tools, tactics, technologies, and strategies to attract and retain younger millennials and Gen Z.

There’s so much conversation out there right now on where marketers and admissions teams should put their budget in order to garner the attention of prospective students, the trio discusses what they think is worth paying attention to right now and what’s just noise. 

They also unpack the biggest mistakes they see schools make once they acquire new contacts/inquiries from social or search campaigns — and discuss what should they be doing to avoid these pitfalls.

 

About the Series: Attention Retention is a special podcast series on how to attract, enroll, retain, and empower the modern learner – brought to you in partnership with our friends at Archer Education

Over the course of this series, we will cover higher ed’s product problem (and how to fix it), the challenges with major and program relevance in today’s dynamic market, how to successfully attract, enroll, and retain adult learners, how to compete in a market when your school doesn’t have a national brand, and much more.

This series is co-hosted with Angie Mohr, the Senior Vice President of Student Engagement and Clayton Dean, Senior Vice President of Agency & Partnership Management at Archer, and Zach Busekrus, from Enrollify. 

Getting attention is hard enough, so once you have it, you’ve got to do everything you can to harness it. And that’s what our friends at Archer Education help schools do so dang well.
