Meeting the High Expectations from Your Audiences
Content marketing is an integral part of how higher educators engage with their target markets, including students, parents, alumni, donors, and faculty. On top of that, higher education marketers are competing against the content and digital experiences of some of the largest digital brands and companies on the internet today.
Despite the importance, many higher ed organizations have not developed the required foundation strategies to ensure short- and long-term content success.
This training, which is an add-on option for the AMA Symposium for the Marketing of Higher Education, will focus on the fundamentals of developing an effective content marketing strategy and best practices on building consensus and approvals within an organization.
This virtual training includes 3 hours of live instruction, interactive Q&A and hands-on exercises.
