I just published the first of a new series on the Higher Education Marketing Institute blog.

I’m not sure HEMI (as I’m calling it) will be the final home, but I thought it would be interesting to use AI to gather and glean insights from some of the more prominent Higher Education Marketing blogs.

Check out the original articles on the Higher Education Marketing Institute.

In summary, the blogs highlight the evolving landscape of higher education marketing, emphasizing the importance of clear communication, understanding and addressing student needs, inclusivity, ethical considerations in technology adoption, data-driven decision-making, and the transformative potential of AI.

These insights underscore the need for higher education institutions to be adaptable, forward-thinking, and rooted in core values as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.
