  • Imagine requesting information for a master’s program and being asked about your favorite movie… that’s what Lydia Fine did at the University of Iowa Tippie School of Business! As the Senior Marketing Technology Specialist, Lydia faced a challenge: form submissions were okay on desktop but not quite up to par on mobile. Taking matters into her own hands during the transition to Drupal 9, she took advantage of the in-page, multi-page option and revamped the request-for-information forms to be more engaging. Lydia's clever idea? Making the first question effortless to answer, with a twist of fun. This approach has been a game-changer, skyrocketing their MBA program RFI's conversion rates by 192% and an extraordinary 595% on mobile.

  • Getting a mention on social media is only half the win. Real engagement happens when we respond. This was Sabreen’s philosophy going into this shift in mentality for Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. As the sole social media manager for the university, she decided to devote at least as much time to social listening (and responding, and reposting) as content creation. The results have been incredible for RFU: In under one year, their mentions have gone from 600 to 7,200 (that’s over 1,000% increase), and the number of people engaging on social (aka unique authors) from 170 to 1,600. Want to reach more people on social? Rebalance your listening to posting ratio and get these astonishing results.

  • Email is a sea of sameness. Just ask any sophomore or junior in high school you know: they are getting bombarded with thousands of emails and they all sound the same. Katie Mills-Erickson wanted to break through the noise to share the University of Iowa story. But how? In email, it starts with the subject line. Her tactic was to change the tone so they would sound and feel more quirky, more human, more fun. The results were astonishing. Email open rates increased by 20%, with some emails hitting open rates in the 80-90% range.

    In the episode, we talk about Katie’s cool “My job is Email” shirt.

  • When yield is the focus, personalization is key. But, just how personalized could an event be? John and his team at Waukesha County Technical College had an idea to create an event where — no matter where you were in the post-app funnel — you would leave the event as an enrolled student. Yes, that included transferring credit, accepting, advising, scheduling courses, and committing — all as part of one single event. They called it, Admission Accomplished, and that they did: 75% of the attendees left the event completely enrolled.

    Special shoutout to Kaylan Gaines and Dee Dee Wallace at WCTC who made Admission Accomplished a tactic we all want to try!

  • If the atomic unit of content is usually a story, what happens when we redefine it to be a snippet or a single quote? That’s what Mackenzie pondered, then implemented at UW-Eau Claire in preparation to launch their new website. In the process, she realized she had ready access to a treasure trove of content she could use to make quick videos, quotes, or add to emails. The results? Her team can produce meaningful content within hours instead of weeks, and the university is engaging with audiences it hadn’t quite reached before.

  • What does diversity, equity, and inclusion in content creation look like? To Mikki Collins, it was this: real, unfiltered stories told by more than one student in a format that could both go deep and was built to last. So, she built a podcast for the University of Chichester centered around authenticity and honesty. In the third series of the podcast, she wanted to feature true stories from her campus’ minority and underrepresented groups, even when the stories weren’t all positive. As a result, the university reached almost 10 times its student population on social, doubled the engagement from non-followers, and won a few awards, including the ContentEd Champion for DIversity, Equity and Inclusion Award in 2022 and the National Student Pride Inclusive University of the Year Award in 2023.

  • How can we build audiences in our secondary social channels in a meaningful way? That’s what Andrew Cassel, Senior Social Strategist at Middlebury College sought out to answer. He engaged his community in submitting prompts which he then used to generate beautiful AI images. He posted the images on Pinterest, LinkedIn, and other secondary platforms. His results? On the form, 53 prompts were submitted, surpassing his 30 prompt goal. On Pinterest, a 50% audience increase. On LinkedIn, incredibly meaningful engagement with an alumna. While he’s holding on rolling this out more broadly, it’s a great example of how we can do social listening, co-create content with community, and meaningfully grow audiences with one simple tactic.

  • As a campus tour guide back in 2005, Mallory Willsea noticed students would ask very different questions when they were alone vs. when they were with their parents or in a group. When she graduated, Mallory started working in the admissions office just when digital was starting to happen.

    She remembered how differently students would behave when alone, so she came up with a tactic to let them ask anonymous questions using a form. The results? A ton more questions. Grateful students. Real opportunities for connection. And for Mallory? A career of customer-centric innovation that’s consistently been two steps ahead of everyone else.

    About the Show

    Each episode of Talking Tactics is devoted to a single tactic that moved the needle on a specific enrollment metric: inquiries, booth visitors, apps started, video views, you name it.

    The catch? The tactic had to be done with limited resources: either by a single person, a small but mighty team, limited time, or without a lot of money. Sound like your reality? Join us by subscribing above or by email here.

  • Allison’s start in higher ed was as a writer at her college. In her role, she quickly realized the communications were not student-centered enough, and sought to become an expert on her audience to deliver hyper-personalized opportunities for engagement via the new CRM. The most immediate result? The students who had a one-on-one engagement with admissions were 2.4 more likely to enroll. The long-term results? A solid partnership between admissions and marketing, and increasing engagement throughout the years, and for Allison, a student-centricity thoroughline that has defined her focus throughout her career.

  • In 2008, Jon-Stephen Stansel was teaching English and noticed his students would pay more attention to their phones than the lecture. He wanted to reach them where they were, so he started trying to find ways to make their phones and social media a productive part of their classes. The rest is history. Today we know Jon-Stephen as THE social media authority in higher education, and it all started with a simple tactic. Listen to this conversation to see how his ingenious idea 15 years ago led him to where he is today.

  • Dive into a captivating chat with Carrie Phillips, the Chief Communications and Marketing Officer at UA Little Rock. Back in 2008, starting as the Assistant Director of New Media at Arkansas Tech University, Carrie faced a media coverage challenge. When TV stations wouldn't visit their remote campus, she ingeniously produced and scripted her own footage, sending it directly to them. The result? Widespread local media attention and a surprise feature on the Today Show. This resourceful approach didn't just amplify their campus stories but also profoundly shaped Carrie's career: strengthening her strong on- and off-campus partnerships, leading her to speak at national conferences, and underscoring her creative and imaginative thinking even 15 years later during her CMO interview.

  • Many research institutions have this same challenge: They want to be known for their research strengths but struggle to do this in a way that engages their non-academic audiences. Lucy Guest at the University of Warwick brings us a highly-effective, super low-resource tactic: share your academic research articles on Reddit. First, find the right community; second, post a recent, peer-reviewed article; third, watch the impressions, engagement (and upvotes!) roll in. This tactic not only gets you real interaction with your research, but can raise the academic profile of your university with prospective student audiences.

  • Less is more. A whole lot more. The University of Nottingham launched the world’s first micro-prospectus (aka mini-viewbook) last year. It may be tiny, but it is making a huge impact. It has allowed the university to reduce the time and complexities to produce this piece, create print pieces that better serve internal audiences and partners, deliver on the sustainability ambitions of their university, and reduce costs by 96%. Best of all, they have earned the praise of prospects, parents, and peers for their sustainable and innovative creation.

  • Ali Abel, senior manager of marketing and communications at the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Law, saw a critical gap that needed to be filled: the online forum prospective law students had been using was moving to Reddit. She created an account for the law school and started answering questions and (softly) promoting events. With ramping up activity to 15 posts and 69 comments, 15% of the law school’s 130 incoming students in 2022 reported finding the school through Reddit.

  • Carrie Chambers, Director of Digital Strategy & Student Engagement at Butler University, shows us how to turn up engagement and conversions in online webinars using prize draws. Inspired by the popularity of Pearl Parties in the early pandemic days, she came up with an idea to host short info sessions, no slides, with prize draws every 4-5 minutes. The results are incredible: much more qualified leads and over four times more applications (and much lower investment in paid social!).
