EP-17 Seth Odell - Marketing in Online Higher Education

Today’s episode is all about marketing for online higher ed. How is it that some institutions have grown exponentially compared to others? Joining me today to discuss this is the Founder and CEO of Kanahoma, Seth Odell. Seth is the marketing machine behind institutions like UCLA, SNHU, and many more. In my mind, when I think of marketing, I think of Seth and his idea behind the SNHU bus commercials which helped SNHU grow from 7,000 students to 70,000 students. You are going to love this episode even if you aren’t in marketing! This conversation was absolutely fascinating to me as Seth gives us the behind the scenes look of how marketing works.
