Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

The Communications staff has initiated modest digital marketing campaigns with operating budget dollars in the past, and will continue to work within our budget to run small-scale digital marketing initiatives with available dollars. However, with two online degrees available to anyone with an internet connection, the College's need to expand its recruitment reach and a focus on attracting a variety of student types (adults, veterans, visiting students, local workforce prospects), we can capitalize on the ability of digital marketing platforms to pinpoint specific/targeted demographic groups. We can recruit specific demographic groups much more efficiently, consistently and directly via social media and digital platforms, however we need additional dollars to complete a broad, consistent program that can run throughout the year and not just during short-run time periods.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

We lose the ability to expand our digital marketing to connect with more prospective students in a consistent way over the course of the calendar year.
