Show notes

While you're waiting for more episodes of The Enrollment Spectrum Podcast I want to share another show with you that I really like.

We recently launched the Confidently You: Women in Leadership Podcast hosted by Rebecca Malotke-Meslin and Lynne Macziewski. On this new show, they explore what it means to be a woman in leadership in independent schools. On their show, Rebecca and Lynne cover a wide range of topics such as leading the school where your kids are students, celebrating your successes, and becoming a better risk-taker.

We hope you enjoy this episode of Confidently You! Check out this show and all the shows we've recently launched at enrollment.org/podcasts.

Five Marketing Tactics You Can Actually Use Right Now Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Join us for a conversation with Chuck English and cut through the marketing speak, buzz words, jargon, and other useless advice for five marketing tactics you can actually implement in the coming weeks. In this episode, we talk about search engine optimization (it's not that scary), video (you can make good ones using your phone), focus groups (you don't need an outside firm), refining your application process (a massive topic but we give you some ideas on how to start), and the differences between a rebrand and a new logo (that actually make sense).

We hope you have as much fun listening to this episode as we did making it and stay tuned for part two of this series soon!
