Before redesigning its website with Carnegie, UT Tyler faced significant challenges that hindered its ability to effectively communicate its mission and offerings.

In today’s competitive higher education landscape, your website is one of your most powerful recruitment tools. But if visitors aren’t converting—whether that means filling out an inquiry form, starting an application, or scheduling a campus visit—your marketing efforts may not be reaching their full potential.

At Carnegie, we’re always looking for new ways to help higher education institutions connect with the right students at the right time. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with Tuition Exchange (TE), a nonprofit consortium of over 700 colleges and universities, to launch an innovative college search and inquiry tool.

The college selection process is deeply personal. Even the smallest details can influence a student’s decision to attend (or not attend) your institution. For an admissions team, navigating these details to guide students toward enrollment can seem like an impossible negotiation.

As more users turn to streaming platforms as their main source of information and entertainment, the prevalence and popularity of Connected TV ads have shot up. Nowadays, CTV is an essential component of any modern digital marketing strategy. 

Google named Carnegie’s digital marketing team as a 2025 Google Premier Partner! This marks over 10 years we’ve been a Premier Partner.

In today’s higher education landscape, traditional marketing strategies—built on demographics, test scores, and zip codes—no longer provide the depth needed to engage and convert modern students. While demographics tell us who and where—they don’t tell us why.

The challenges facing higher education aren’t just about policy—they’re about perception. Institutions must go beyond policy debates and clearly articulate their broader value to their community. Colleges and universities are not just places of learning—they fuel innovation, drive economic mobility, and strengthen communities. Now more than ever, higher education leaders must work together to ensure this message resonates. Here’s where to start.

Carnegie is excited to announce that Shankar Prasad has joined its senior leadership team as Chief Strategy Officer. With an extensive background in higher education leadership, strategic innovation, and institutional growth, Shankar brings invaluable expertise to Carnegie at a time when colleges and universities are navigating unprecedented change.
