About the Episode

There are only a handful of other industries that have as diverse a customer base, product offering, and stakeholder base as higher education.  

As such, brand integration across the enterprise is, in fact, challenging. In Episode 5 of the How to Market a University podcast series, Terry outlines how leaders should go about communicating the changes born from the brand strategy and offers suggestions for how to inspire buy-in from various constituencies.

Terry also points to specific examples of schools slaying the branding integration game and offers her notes on how these schools have been able to get everyone from the president, to prospective students, to alumni and to local business leaders to jump onboard.

More About the Series: The How to Market a University Podcast series features vignettes of Dr. Teresa Flannery’s book, How to Market a University.

Terry Flannery has spent her entire career in higher education. She was the first marketing director and chief marketing officer at the University of Maryland, the first Vice President of Communications at American University, and most recently the interim vice president for marketing and communication at Stony Brook University.

At a time of declining public support, a shrinking pipeline of traditional college-bound students, and a steady rise in tuition and discount rates, higher education leaders have never been under more pressure. 

How can they ensure steady or growing enrollments while cultivating greater philanthropic support, increasing research funding, and diversifying revenue streams? 

In How to Market a University, Terry argues that institutions can meet all of these goals by implementing strategic integrated marketing in ways that are consistent with academic culture and university values.

Enrollify and Terry have joined forces to produce Enrollify’s first-ever Mastercouse that mirrors the robust learnings and deep insights packed into Terry’s book. Over the next eight weeks, this special podcast series will give you a taste of what you can expect in the Mastercourse.
