Sextant Marketing works with colleges and universities to offer customized, full-funnel marketing solutions. Our company was founded by a small group of higher education marketing experts who believed in the power of higher education and understood that old models for student recruitment and retention were unsustainable. The world of higher education was changing, and higher ed marketing needed to change too. Together we built a team of full-funnel student enrollment experts with deep experience delivering coordinated new student recruitment, retention, and yield campaigns across all program and student types. Sextant Marketing is a nimble partner with a comprehensive approach made possible through our forward-thinking model and 19+ years in higher education program management working with some of the nation`s leading institutions. We employ proven recruiting best-practices and work to continually identify, test, and vet the latest tactics and technology to improve engagement and enrollments. Our partnerships with clients have led to doubling first-time freshman enrollments, increased online enrollments, engaging video campaigns, and so much more for institutions that are ready to get ahead of the curve.
We were founded on the belief that the communications industry has changed, and that change is just the beginning of a fundamental shift in the way consumers will ultimately engage with brands. In 2007, we coined the phrase, “The Consumer is the Medium,” a philosophy which has guided our approach to the biggest challenges facing some of the world`s most influential brands including adidas Originals, Chanel, Coca-Cola, Google and TripAdvisor. Our unique thought leadership model involves identifying the core of a brand`s communication problem and deploying a creative solution in the most effective medium possible, turning creative ideas into powerful business tools. The result is a body of work which spans every medium, from traditional communications to retail environments to digital platforms and social activations, all aimed at empowering the most important medium, the audience. We have been recognized for our breakthrough communication solutions throughout the industry and been featured as the “Agency to Watch” in both AdAge`s and Creativity`s Agency A-Lists. Our work has twice won the Crème De La Crème award for the best work across the entire WPP network and most recently garnered 8 Cannes Lions in 2012, including the inaugural Grand Prix for mobile marketing.
