Checkmate, marketers.

It's Jayde again from Pink Orange, and I am excited to bring you the latest edition of (Ed)vertise! As we kick off this edition, I can't help but feel optimistic about the opportunities that come with it.

First things first, let's talk about getting prepared for the months ahead. As we all know, the education marketing world is constantly evolving, and it's important to stay on top of the latest trends and strategies. This means beefing up your overall marketing plan, fine-tuning your funnel, and making sure your social presence is on fleek. (Yes I know ‘they’ don’t say that anymore) 

But let's be real, it can be overwhelming to think about all the things you need to do to stay ahead of the game.

That's why I want to share a personal story with you. 

The world of marketing changes faster than most can keep up with, and I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. I mean, it's like every time the calendar flips to another month the pressure to come up with even more creative and impactful campaigns just multiplies. But honestly, who am I kidding? I feel overwhelmed on a daily basis.

But you know what they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when you're a marketer, when life gives you overwhelming tasks, make a to-do list and cross off each one like you're the boss of them.

And if all else fails, just remind yourself that even the most brilliant campaigns started with a single idea.

And if you're stuck, just remember, "there's no such thing as a bad idea, just a good idea that went bad.”

So, my advice to you is to not let the overwhelm get the best of you. Pick one area of your marketing strategy to focus on and give it your all. And remember, it's not about being perfect, it's about making progress.

Now, on to the good stuff! This month, we're diving into the world of leveraging the latest marketing trends. 

This is what you can expect from this month’s edition of (Ed)vertise:
