DESCRIPTION

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, higher education teams would meet once a year to create their annual plan, laying out publications and timelines as their complete and official map forward for the entire season to come. Each year’s map had similar routes and landmarks as the year before, adjusted minutely to allow for unique milestones; as long as the map was read correctly, marketing triumph would inevitably follow.Those days are over. With apologies to traditionalists and cartographers everywhere, we have entered the time of GPS marketing: a constantly-changing, adaptable, digital period where we are more focused on the destination than the path, and where each turn we make has us frequently (if you’ll excuse the phrase) “recalculating.” What have we learned from our past to help us navigate this new way of moving forward? And what are the new rules of the road – the emerging core marketing tactics and principles -- that will help us arrive at our destinations safe, sound, and successful? This presentation explores lessons we can learn from our shared past digital marketing history, examines how higher ed audiences and expectations have evolved, and investigates the distilled core principles and qualities that will be the basis of successful future higher ed digital marketing. Where we’re going, friends, we don’t need roads. We’re going to carve our own paths anew.

“We're well into the current era of the Web, commonly referred to as Web 2.0. Features of this phase of the Web include search, social networks, online media (music, video, etc), content aggregation and syndication (RSS), mashups (APIs), and much more. We’re starting to see more Web excitement from mobile devices (e.g. iPhone) and online television sets.”
