Inbound Marketing for Schools - How to Increase Traffic by Producing Less Con...Sean Henri
We all know that creating content that ranks well in search engines, increases traffic and helps you grow interest in your school is a challenging task, especially when you’re wearing multiple hats and competing against other schools who are attempting to do the same thing.
You could just churn out twice as many blog posts as you currently do, but we all know that’s just not realistic or sustainable. It’s also likely that half of those blog posts won’t end up generating any new traffic at all, making the effort feel like a waste of time.
In addition, the way Google ranks content has changed dramatically in recent years, making old SEO techniques not as effective as they once were.
So what do we do?
These slides provide an answer. I’ll explain how “topic clusters” and “pillar pages” can be used to create a more thoughtful and strategic approach to content marketing, helping your school’s website to rank for valuable high-traffic terms, generate more traffic, and capture more inquiries and applicants.
Global Insights to Attracting and Engaging With Millennial Talent The HR Observer
Work-life balance, leading purpose-driven lives, making a difference are just a few of the preferences of the millennial generation that were observed in the 2014 Universum’s Student Survey, covering 36 countries globally and including 600,000 respondents. In this presentation, Claudia goes inside the minds of this generation of talent – who they are, what attracts them, what drives them, and how business can better understand, engage, recruit and retain this generation. You will not only look at results from Universum’s survey, with a particular focus on the Middle East, but we will also be inspired to develop your own communication strategy through best practice sharing and innovative, outside the box recruitment tactics.

Live Webinar: Quality Leads to Successful Graduates & How Social Media Can HelpLinkedIn
We know it’s challenging for marketers in higher education today. In fact, 63% of admissions directors did not meet their 2016 enrollment goals.*
However, new research from LinkedIn and CarringtonCrisp shows that social media can help drive quality at all points of the student journey — from quality candidates to successful graduates.
Join LinkedIn and our guest speaker from Northeastern University as we share new research and marketing best practices around the following questions:

The future for online education is bright, as online enrollment continues to outpace overall higher education growth. But competition for students is fierce, from both traditional universities and for-profit schools.
As a result, higher ed marketers need to be laser focused on driving quality leads, improving awareness, and differentiating programs from competitors. LinkedIn is the perfect platform to do this.
Join Geoff and Ira for a primer on how you, as a marketer of online programs, can realize the benefits of a strong social media presence on LinkedIn.

• Improve your creative with examples from other online programs
• Lower your cost per lead with new LinkedIn solutions, like Lead Gen Forms

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
First Things First: Building and Effective Marketing Strategy
Too many companies (and marketers) jump straight into activation planning without formalizing a marketing strategy.

I’ll walk you through the methods and tools we use with our clients to ensure campaign success.
Key Takeaways:
-Recognize the critical role of strategy in marketing
-Learn our approach for building an actionable, effective marketing strategy
-Receive templates and guides for developing a marketing strategy
Digital marketing is the art and science of promoting products or services using digital channels to reach and engage with potential customers.
