Research
Our team’s deep industry knowledge and experience launching hundreds of undergraduate and graduate degree offerings across a wide spectrum of programs and colleges is invaluable in guiding our research and serves as a backdrop against which we litmus test the findings from our primary and secondary market research.
Sextant Marketing conducts internal market research to identify areas of strength, weakness, and opportunity along with an effective market assessment that is a combination of both art & science. Combining our deep understanding of the entire prospective student experience with a thoroughly researched knowledge of your university, from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective, ensures we capture the complete tapestry of information available.

Marketing
We understand that marketing efforts are ultimately about yield. Strategic placement is the key to reaching the right audience, resulting in qualified leads. As pioneers in the industry we wrote the book on the best-practices for establishing and building successful digital marketing strategies that result in large scale, highly qualified enrollments with the lowest costs per acquisition in the market.
In today’s digital world, the concept of brand development means more than simply creating a visually interesting creative ad campaign and slogan. That is an important foundational element for any brand, but success in reaching today’s potential students requires a new approach to brand development that involves a host of digital and mobile marketing strategies that require a new breed of marketing and technical skills.

What does your student journey look like?
Because we focus on enrollment and graduates first, we start every client engagement from the bottom up. Our philosophy for projecting enrollments starts with the idea that any successful relationship begins with having a clear view of the objective. This is what we describe as the Flipped Funnel Approach.
This simply means we begin at the end, by setting the enrollment target. From there we work up the enrollment funnel, examining each granular phase of the process and setting specific performance targets for each.
