About the Episode:

In Part 3 of The Admissions Travel Season Playbook, host Allison Turcio dives into how admissions counselors and enrollment marketers can stop working in silos and start building a stronger, AI-powered partnership. Fall travel is a team sport, but too often it feels like two separate games. By using AI to bridge the gap, institutions can make their outreach smarter, faster, and more effective.

Allison introduces five strategies that show how marketers can support counselors on the road and help counselors gain visibility, better content, and stronger student engagement:

Key Takeaways

  • Promote travel with localized hype content: Use AI to generate social posts, ads, and flyers that build excitement before visits.

  • Build travel week landing pages: Create one-stop digital hubs with deadlines, rep info, and QR codes for easy access.

  • Batch post-visit email templates: Make counselor follow-up more human and less overwhelming.

  • Co-create student-facing resources: Develop quick guides (e.g., “What to Ask a Rep”) that students actually use.

  • Build a living story library: Collect student stories and use AI to turn them into shareable talking points and engagement assets.
