Consulting & Support
A TRUSTED AND SUPPORTIVE PARTNER
One-on-One Strategic Support for School Marketing Leaders
Thoughtful partnership, fresh perspective, and practical guidance when you need it most.
Even the most capable school marketing, communications, and admissions leaders benefit from having a trusted thought partner. Whether you’re navigating complexity, trying to prioritize, or simply craving space to reflect and reset, our one-on-one consulting offers clarity, structure, and insight rooted in experience.
This isn’t about templates or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s a collaborative, flexible engagement designed to meet you where you are. You set the priorities and we bring a fresh perspective, and problem-solving expertise to collaborate and help you move the work forward.
Our consulting partnerships are high-touch and adaptable, lasting anywhere from three months to a full year.
How We Can Help
Every consulting engagement is different because every school’s needs are different. We’ll start with your priorities and goals, then shape our work together around what will make the biggest difference for you and your team.
Here are just a few examples of the kinds of things we might tackle together:
- Clarifying priorities when everything feels urgent
- Creating or refining marketing and communications plans
- Mapping the family journey from inquiry through retention
- Reviewing email communications, campaign strategies, or key messaging
- Troubleshooting internal team dynamics or collaboration across departments
- Identifying quick wins and long-term opportunities in systems, processes, or strategy
- Preparing for leadership conversations or department presentations
- Evaluating digital tools (like CRMs or email platforms) and identifying ways to optimize them
- Establishing roles and responsibilities for a growing or shifting team
- Shaping goals or KPIs that align with your school’s strategic plan
- Brainstorming fresh ideas to engage families, tell your school’s story, or address persistent challenges
