Beyond Silos: Organizational Structures that Make Sense

About the Episode: In this episode, Jaime sits down with Rachel Reuben Senor, a 25-year veteran of higher education marketing now serving as the VP of Account Strategy for OHO Interactive.

Takeaways include:

• Insight into organizational models, such as centralized, center-led, and decentralized structures, dissecting why each model may or may not work in certain contexts. 
• Practical advice on how to determine the best organizational model for a specific institution and strategies to break down silos beyond just structural changes.
• Ideas around how schools can effectively leverage storytelling to create impactful narratives.
• Insight into the key roles that higher ed CMOs should focus on developing over the next 2-5 years.
