Westford, Mass., January 17, 2012 — Carnegie Communications, the leader in higher education marketing and student recruitment services, announced today it will partner with Mobile Fusion to offer its clients the latest in new media and smart phone marketing. The partnership enables Carnegie to further broaden its offering of digital services to colleges and universities seeking to attract high school students, who are increasingly more digital and mobile savvy.

“This partnership allows Carnegie to provide our university clients with end-to-end digital marketing solutions,” Carnegie Communications President and CEO Joe Moore said. “With a blue-chip roster of services and clients, Mobile Fusion will help us provide the very best in mobile marketing and social media capabilities.”

Carnegie already offers a broad range of digital products, including retargeting, search engine optimization, pay-per-click consulting, and display advertising management.
