The #1 question we get from private schools, Christian academies, and admissions/communications professionals is this:
“What do I post on Facebook?”
In this episode of our school marketing podcast, we share ideas to help you know what to post so that your current families, and the many prospective families watching your news feed, stay with you for a long-term Facebook relationship.

In the continuing pursuit of on-demand content for school administrators, admissions professionals and marketing and communication directors for private schools, we launch the next episode of the school marketing podcast. In this episode, I talk with Richie Escovedo, Director of Media and Communications for the Mansfield ISD. You’ll hear Richie share ideas of “aggressively monitoring the conversation” and “growing bigger ears.” I think you’ll learn alot from this case study from a “student protest gone right”! As well, hear Richie share practical tools on using social media in the education world and how some of the roles and functions of the PR professional relate to positions on a baseball team.

This has been months in the making (and that’s an “in progress” statement) – but I am eager to finally start a podcast uniquely positioned to help private schools fill seats and stop wasting money! I anticipate sharing podcast episodes where I share marketing resources, tips on using social media, innovative strategic approaches and ideas for word-of-mouth marketing. But I’m really excited about conducting GUEST INTERVIEWS with other school marketing folks, school administrators, or other experts who have ideas that can benefit a private school, independent school, Christian school, etc.
* NOTE – this is not a compensated interview NOR does it cost to be on the show (it is invitation only)
