Ep. 160: How to Add Empathy to Your Comms Plans - Live From The Engage Summit
About this episode
When we build a communications calendar for enrollment, we start with: what do we need to tell them? Usually, it’s a long list of facts and accolades about our institutions, and some steps for them to take. We send this information over and over again, hoping for the best.
Yet, how often do we stop and think: what emotions might be coming up for our students this time of year? What else is competing for their attention? What information is actually relevant to them right now?
In this power episode, join Zach and Dayana Kibilds, Strategy Director at Ologie, for a quick conversation about adding empathy to your comms plans — a preview of her incredible session at Element451’s Engage Summit this past June.
