Enrollment marketing doesn’t break down because of a single tactic. It happens when the systems, processes, and alignment needed to support performance aren’t in place.

Our latest Higher Education Maturity Model blog post helps institutions identify where they are today, uncover gaps across CRM infrastructure, lead management, admissions alignment, conversion tracking, and organizational readiness, and prioritize the next steps toward measurable enrollment outcomes.

Whether you're struggling to understand lead quality or looking to better connect marketing efforts to enrollment results, this framework provides a practical path forward.

Last week at Tennessee Governor's Conference on Hospitality and Tourism, Cassandra Razzi and Ben Hale joined destination leaders from across the state to discuss what's next for travel marketing and visitor engagement.

Cassandra's session, The Algorithm Ate My Tourists: Winning the Battle of AI Attention, sparked meaningful conversations around AI visibility, traveler discovery, and the strategies destinations can use to stay competitive as search behavior evolves. She also had the opportunity to kick off the day by hosting a barre class for conference attendees. Meanwhile, Ben enjoyed connecting with industry partners, including our valued Pigeon Forge Department of Tourism team, and continuing conversations with DMOs focused on driving measurable tourism impact.

A big thank you to everyone who attended, connected, and shared insights throughout the week. And a nod to the final stop on our photo reel: Dolly Parton, a Tennessee icon and fitting reminder of the creativity, culture, and hospitality that make the state unforgettable.
