With nearly 5,000 institutions of higher education in the U.S., the competition to attract the best and brightest students is intense. Higher education marketing teams must know their market and speak to prospective students—and their circle of influence—in a "voice" that excites and motivates them. The presentation will show marketers how to use big data to profile an applicant's journey and deliver personalized communications through relevant channels.

Attendees will also walk away with Sappi's informative guide for higher education marketing professionals. It brings life to industry statistics, demonstrates unique case studies, explains little-known myths and facts of marketing, and includes a 5-page pullout filled with "cross channel" marketing tips.

Food for Thought is the second educational event hosted by Shawmut Communications Group and is part of Shawmut Thinks—the company's educational series designed to spark ideas and collaboration throughout the marketing and design community.
