Mindful School Marketing

105. Differentiation Strategies for Independent Schools with Chuck English


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant and always insightful Chuck English of English Marketing Works. Chuck has partnered with dozens of independent schools across the U.S. and Canada, helping them clarify their messaging, sharpen their marketing, and truly stand out in crowded markets.

We loved this conversation because Chuck doesn’t just talk theory—he shares practical, real-world strategies schools can use to define what makes them unique and connect with families who value exactly what they offer.

Tune in as we chat about:

  • Why differentiation is more important than ever in today’s competitive school landscape
  • The Jobs to Be Done framework and how it can help schools better understand what families are really looking for
  • The danger of trying to be everything to everyone—and how to avoid it
  • How differentiation can impact enrollment, fundraising, staff recruitment, and retention
  • What it means to be mindful and honest about who your school is (and isn’t)
  • This episode is packed with wisdom, examples, and great reminders for school leaders and marketers alike. Whether you’re in the thick of enrollment season or refining your strategic plan, you’ll walk away with plenty of ideas to bring back to your team.
