Friday, April 19, 13Pinnacle: the big event for us. Where we were able to bring down some of the highest-‐level presenters and deliver content at the independent and higher educa;on level. For me, there were two key trends that emerged from the event: 1) The importance of the Visual Content & 2) The importance of data, datapoints and strategic social media marke;ng, nurtured for a specific audience and need.

Inbound Marketing
wikipediaFriday, April 19, 13
For me it boils down to this... Schools have to re-‐think about the way they craJ content. They are now the media organiza;on. They are the journalists and the reporters. Maybe you heard Sven talk about it yesterday in his session?
Inbound Marketing
“Inbound marketing is advertising a company through blogs, podcasts, video, eBooks, enewsletters,
whitepapers, SEO, social media marketing, and other forms of content marketing. David Meerman Scott recommends that marketers "earn their way in" (via publishing helpful information on a blog
etc.) in contrast to outbound marketing where they "buy, beg, or bug their way in"”

How can you make them feel a part of the wonderful community that you help breed?
Friday, April 19, 13You do this by crea;ng & sharing compelling content that speaks to these fundamental needs. Your school enjoys a fan base that, for lack of a bePer word, “consume” your narra;ve stream or long story. The object is to begin bringing applying families into this stream. This requires that you give fans and families substance—not necessarily formality, but substance—events, stories, narra;ves, happenings and achievement on campus. Show the ways students are growing and learning-‐ real and substan;ve. Engage your fans by sharing the school experience.
