My latest guest on the Education Marketing Leader told me, "I can't do anything for you," when I met her for the first time at NCMPR this March.

What she meant was she was no longer in the market.I was there as a vendor, and she, a retired higher ed marketer, was an attendee.

"You can talk with me," I responded, and that's what we did.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Sally Cameron, Communication Strategist at ThreeC Strategy and former VP of College Communications at Bristol Community College (31 years!).

She's also the former president of the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR).

Here's what you should know:

Sally emphasized the importance of mentorship. Her own career was shaped by a mentor who taught her to think strategically and manage budgets. She passed on that legacy.

Sally often hired people who might not have had the most experience but had a strong passion and desire to excel.

She used practical tasks like creating recruitment campaigns to assess potential hires. This approach helped her understand a candidate's creativity and decision-making skills.

Sally was a pioneer in adopting new technologies at Bristol Community College. She introduced the college's first Facebook page and emphasized the importance of staying updated with new tools and technologies. Her boldness earned her Paragon Awards.

Creating a supportive environment where effort is valued over perfection is key. Sally protected her team from the consequences of mistakes and encouraged learning from experiences.

Communicate in a way that resonates with them and fulfills their needs.
