About the Episode

In this episode, Zach sits down with Tony Fraga, CEO of DD Agency, live at DD Agency’s biannual retreat, DevDays, to discuss the future of marketing leadership, trends in higher ed marketing worth paying attention to (and those trends NOT with paying attention to).

Furthermore, the duo discusses what it means to be a disruptor in the context of marketing today, why SEO matters today more than ever before for colleges and universities, and the skillsets Tony believes will be crucial for marketers to attain — or further develop — in the next couple of years. 

 

This episode is brought to you by our friends at DD Agency:

DD Agency is a higher ed-specific marketing technology agency that has conducted countless SEO Audits for colleges and universities across the country. 

In these audits, they detail where you currently rank, what you could be ranking for, exactly how copy should be tweaked on website pages, and much more. 

If this sounds like something you could benefit from, give those folks a ping and be sure to mention that Enrollify sent you to claim a 10% discount on any of their SEO offerings. 

Head on over to enrollify.org/ddaseo, or simply follow the link in the show notes below…that will guarantee you get a 10% discount off of your audit.
