HIGHER ED MAR/COMM TRAINING

My work in higher education marketing and communications changed when a colleague encouraged me to shift from being "an order taker to a strategist." With constant turnover among marketing and communications professionals and teams, your college or university's brand is creeping along as if it's sitting in New York City rush hour traffic. 

​

Let's get moving! I can help your mar/comm professionals work more productively by helping them answer 5 common burning questions:

​

• How can I make my colleagues take me more seriously?  Communication is the biggest asset here, and it is also many mar/comm professionals' biggest challenge.

  • Learn the art of managing up, developing expertise authority, and leadership development to earn the trust of campus colleagues.

• How can I work faster?  You need projects to move, and you need them to move fast.

  • Develop tools and methods to prioritize the tasks and projects needed to move your institution forward.

• Why is my campus like this? As a former HBCU mar/comm leader, I know that many professionals believe that what they experience on their campuses is unique to those campuses.

  • Adopt the proper mindset to perform at the highest level.

• Why aren't our faculty more responsive?  Experience taught me that one of the silent killers of your institution's exposure is mar/comm's inability to work with the faculty. 

  • Learn the secrets to turning faculty into (get ready for it) brand ambassadors.​

• How can I execute my plan without disruptions?  It's like watching your Jenga blocks collapse. Even the best mar/comm plans fall apart by September of the academic year. 

  • Develop flexible approaches to working the plan so that what matters most to promote the institution is taken care of.​

SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING SERVICES

FRACTIONAL COMMUNICATIONS LEADERSHIP

You will get high-level interim leadership to keep your communications (and marketing) efforts moving forward, ensuring that your operation remains steady while you search for the perfect permanent fit. My approach focuses on four critical pillars:

​

1. "Hit the Ground Listening." A dive deep into your current landscape to ensure your existing strategic priorities are honored.​

2. A Sense of Urgency. The marcomm calendar continues to ensure that key projects and campaigns stay on track and hit their marks.

3. Thoughtful Leadership. A steady, experienced hand to keep your marcomm team motivated, focused, and aligned with the organization’s vision

4. Talent Acquisition Strategy. Identify, vet, and onboard the right Chief Communications or Marketing Officer to ensure a seamless handoff.
