Kevin Tyler

I'm from Columbus, Ohio originally but my partner and I moved to Santa Monica in November 2020. I have a degree in poetry from the University of Pittsburgh and have worked in a number of fields, including politics, government, non-profits, charter schools, agencies, corporations and institutions. My favorite lessons my dad taught me are: "There's always enough money for a book" and "never miss an opportunity to say nothing." I'll always choose music over TV, travel over homeownership. Kindness enthusiast. Tattoo collector. I also host "Higher Voltage" a podcast about higher education marketing and branding. In my role as Director of Community Engagement at SimpsonScarborough, I work with CMOs from institutions across the country to help them reach their strategic goals with data, insights, and programming, while moving the higher ed marketing industry forward in important ways.
