Collective Enrollment Episode 4: How ZeeMee Actually Works

Or listen on:

About the Episode

In the final episode of Collective Enrollment, you’ll meet Adam Metcalf — Co-Founder of ZeeMee. Before the financial crisis of 2008, Adam had worked as a financial advisor for Morgan Stanley.  

After 2008, Adam decided it was time to do something different - turns out he just wasn't all that passionate about advising folks on how to increase the performance of their portfolios. So, Adam went and got a master's degree in education and became a teacher.

And it was during this chapter of his life where the idea, which would eventually become ZeeMee, was born. Tune in to hear the remarkable story of how a company that almost lost it all, but pivoted to become the No. 1 college search app and one of the most popular social network apps on the app store.  

You can connect with Adam on LinkedIn or Twitter via the links in the show notes below.


About the Series: 

In this special 4-part series, you’ll get a crash course on what Collective Enrollment is, why it matters for both enrollment and marketing professionals, and how to adopt Collective Enrollment strategies into your enrollment marketing mix.

We’ll explore what a world without Facebook and the College Board might mean for new student acquisition, hear the founding story of ZeeMee, and learn from current high school students about how they want to and don’t want to be recruited by institutions.

This series is brought to you by ZeeMee. ZeeMee is the go-to social community for students headed to college. More than one million students use ZeeMee to connect and chat with other prospective students interested in the same colleges and universities.  And more than 150 schools use ZeeMee to establish and facilitate quality relationships with future students as early as their sophomore year in high school.  

To learn more about ZeeMee head on over to Colleges.ZeeMee.com — and be sure to tell them that your friends at Enrollify sent you their way!
