Higher Education
Your goal is to help students understand the benefits of your institution. Our goal is to help you get there.
A history of helping students — and site editors — make the right decision.
Universities, colleges, and higher education institutions all have one thing in common: a lot of information and a lot of interested parties. Blend’s been working with these institutions since we started the company, and are ready to bring everything we know to help you reach your goals.
What this means for you is a model that understands not just the user needs of a new student, but also the needs of all of that student’s influencers and supporters — from parents to counselors to alumni. It’s a full-team approach to their full-team research.
- Organization and pathways designed to move potential students toward tours and personal contact
- Content modeling designed to cross-promote programs and admissions calls-to-action
- An understanding of complex editorial processes between departments
- Efficiencies in common content, promotion of articles and initiatives, and a model digital hub for students and parents alike
But don’t take it from us. View some of our work in the higher education space, and contact us today to better understand the path your content can take.
