Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO — with Jaime Hunt

Ep. 65: Marketing's Role in Reshaping Pricing Strategy


Listen Later

Every marketer knows the four Ps–Product, Price, Place and Promotion–but it is the rare higher ed marketing leader who gets to have a voice in anything beyond just Promotion. In this episode, Jaime sits down with Paul McGinnis, vice president for marketing and enrollment at Bethel University, to talk about how he led the charge to completely transform Bethel’s pricing strategy with a tuition reset. 

 Takeaways for this episode include insights into:

  • why Bethel felt it was important to move toward tuition transparency
  • why marketing led the charge – and how they tackled this massive undertaking
  • how they communicated the change both internally and externally
  • how a tuition reset could help struggling colleges make important changes that impact their trajectory
  • why Jaime and Paul think that tuition transparency is an issue every higher ed leader needs to be considering
