A People Search Engine: The Power of Human-to-Human (H2H) Marketing in Higher Ed
Monday, Oct 22 10:45 - 11:30
Presented by Lisa Nguyen and Amy Davis“A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer—it is what the consumers tell each other it is.” In the age of marketing automation and data-driven decision making, those words of Scott Cook, founder of Intuit, remain powerfully true. To this end, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management’s humble little marcom team is reaching exponential rates of success by creating meaningful H2H connections through community-generated content.
In this session, we’ll explore the power of H2H in action through our case study, highlighting best practices and sharing tools to get you started. Just take a step back, focus on humans (eek!) and empower your community to share your true story.
