Consulting
Higher Education Marketing Consultants
Senior marketing and enrollment leaders for colleges, universities, trade schools, and online programs.
01Overview
RGI is a team of higher education marketing consultants, operators who have held the marketing and enrollment number inside real institutions, not career agency staff. Sometimes you don't need another vendor; you need senior people who have done the job: to set direction, pressure-test the plan, and get your team and agencies moving toward enrolled students. We step in as fractional marketing leadership or as a strategic advisory partner to presidents, CMOs, and enrollment leaders.

03Frequently asked
- What is a higher education marketing consultant?
- A higher education marketing consultant is a senior advisor who helps a college, university, or trade school set and run its marketing and enrollment strategy, often as fractional leadership. RGI's consultants have led marketing and owned the enrollment number inside institutions, so we advise from the operator's seat, not the sidelines.
- Consultant vs. agency, what's the difference?
- A consultant helps you decide what to do and leads the strategy; an agency executes the work. RGI does both, but consulting is the advisory and leadership layer: direction, prioritization, and accountability. Many institutions use our consultants to set the plan, then our team (or their own) to execute it.
- Who is consulting for?
- Presidents, CMOs, VPs of enrollment, and marketing directors who need senior strategy and direction, whether they have an internal team, agencies, or both.
- Can you help us evaluate our current agency?
- Yes. We give an objective, operator's assessment of your current partners and spend, and help you decide where to invest.
