About the Episode

In this engaging and enlightening episode, Zach (Founder of Enrollify) and Pat (Growth Manager at Enrollify) explore why higher education marketers should pay closer attention to the power of podcasts as a dynamic marketing and recruitment channel. With a touch of sophistication and a dash of wit, we dive into the various benefits that podcasting can offer to those in the higher ed industry.

Firstly, we uncover the remarkable potential of podcasts as a platform to showcase thought leadership. By appearing on niche shows, higher ed marketers can establish themselves as industry experts and create a lasting impression on their target audience. 

Unlike other ad campaigns and content channels, podcasts allow for long-form content, enabling nuanced discussions that captivate listeners and leave a lasting impact.

But podcasting doesn't stop at marketing—it is also a fantastic networking channel. Zach and Pat explore how higher ed professionals can leverage podcasts to grow their personal brand and expand their network. 

Finally, we uncover the art of being a great podcast guest. We discuss the qualities that make an interviewee stand out and provide listeners with valuable tips, tricks, and proactive ideas to impress their interviewers. After all, being a remarkable guest not only enhances personal reputation but also contributes to the overall success of the podcast episode.

So, whether you're a higher ed marketer looking to make your mark or an industry professional seeking to broaden your network, this episode serves up a delicious blend of insights and actionable strategies to help you embrace the power of podcasts. 

Tune in and join us on this captivating audio journey to uncover the untapped potential of podcasting in the world of higher education marketing. Remember, the only limit is your imagination... and your microphone!
