Keeping in Mind What Students Really Value

University of Nebraska–Lincoln had a solid marketing strategy that always received strong student interest. Like all institutions across the nation in 2020, however, the team’s tried and true methods of communicating with these students were incredibly disrupted with the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. The enrollment marketing team knew that if it could deliver customized messages to students based on their interests and goals, they could still bring in their best-fit class.
