When I was coming up in #HigherEdMarketing (👋🏼 @mallorywillsea.bsky.social + @ashleybudd.com + @sethodell.bsky.social) we heard “Goals before tools” in like every conference talk. A fat lot of good it did us.

Every institution seems to pick a CMS before setting strategy.
(is #HEMktg a tag yet?) 🧵

Like, I took 12 seconds off their website's load time. This is obvious stuff but everyone wants to dump money into AI scams.

Hot take for my #hemktg peeps — if you think the best role for AI in your institution is removing the human touch, you're going to be hurting. There are great uses for LLMs in #HigherEdMarketing, but writing content or interfacing with prospects is lazy + detrimental to your brand ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I keep wanting to call this place "Mr. Bluesky."

I mean, it's clear that Jeff Lynne wrote the song about #HEMKTG and #EMChat Twitter, right?

🎶 "Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why / You had to hide away for so long (so long) / Where did we go wrong?" 🎶

Using first names in drip emails is great. Using names on your website is creepy. Personalization isn't about showing that you know who someone is, it's about using that data to guide their journey.
#HEMktg sometimes has trouble using a light touch with technology. But that's where the magic is.

Tomorrow night (Wednesday 1/15 at 9:00 PM Eastern) #EMChat is taking on financial aid messaging. If you're in enrollment, financial aid, or marketing this is a good time to jump in.

A marketing video sent to admitted students looking to enroll as freshmen in a business school. The video should help promote your university in order to increase enrollment.

I had a great conversation with @carriehphillips.bsky.social about navigating uncertainty in higher ed leadership on the @enrollify.bsky.social network. We explored resilience, relationships, and making tough decisions.

I got to talk about imposter syndrome with @carriehphillips.bsky.social a few weeks ago. How do I deal with something I've never experienced? (jk)

It's 3ish minutes. Have a watch. www.enrollify.org/podcasts/les...

When did thought leadership become more important than integrity in #HEMktg? It's so disingenuous to say things like "your uni website is no longer your front door" bc AI search. Yeah, people are lazy and will believe any old slop — fix that.

I can't with this AI Slop Leadership anymore.

Personalization in #HigherEd is so badly misunderstood. Here's what I think about it.

🎙️ Episode 002 - Personalize This! - is out now.

Personalize This! - Higher Ed Hot Takes
How should personalization work in higher ed? Joel Goodman says it should be invisible and frictionless. But we're doing it wrong. Listen now.

I’ve never been a trendchaser. Early adopter? Yes. But always analytical and realistic. And I come across as a downer when everyone else is all-in on the hype, especially in #HEMktg.

Personalization on the web!
AI everything!

My previously shared #sora videos were at the lowest resolution. Bumped up the config to 720p, still in 16x9. I believe this one "cost" 50 credits.

Prompting naturally matters but I wonder if the internal consistency is better with higher res videos?

Starting from 0 and spending no money on promotion, and within 3 months, the Clarity Calling podcast hit 500 streams. It's hard going from a large audience to starting over, but the freedom to have meaningful conversations is energizing. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/c... #emchat #highered #hemktg
