Overview

The work of campus marketing and communications departments continues to evolve and expand. This often results in an increased pressure to demonstrate impact and value. Many campus marketing teams are decentralized, in need of reorganization, struggling with the impacts of digital and social media, and lacking the resources needed to accomplish the tasks that are now considered “critical” in higher education.

Join nationally recognized higher-ed marketing experts Elizabeth Scarborough and Jason Simon online to explore new ways of organizing your marketing team to maximize results. We will discuss required skills and opportunities for revisioning your department’s role and purpose, examples of various institutions’ marketing organizational charts, and how to decide which structure might be best for your campus.

Who should attend?

This online training presents a great opportunity to start a conversation with several campus stakeholders about how you might consider restructuring or growing your own marketing team. These stakeholders may include:

  • Marketing professionals
  • Advancement and alumni divisions

  • HR professionals who recruit for marketing departments
