CONSULTATION
Smart. Flexible.
While they will bend over backwards to help you achieve your marketing goals, Stamats' consultants also have the ability to be flexible and meet you where you need to be met. Because of our range of expertise in higher education marketing, Stamats is in a unique position to offer you wholly customized consultation services. Whether you hire us to help you prepare for a board meeting or choose to keep us on retainer, Stamats will work with you. Take a look at the list of projects we've completed and you'll see how each is distinctive, focusing on a very specific issue:

- Helped a college evaluate its current organizational structure
- Advised a client on options for improving its ranking
- Helped a college with three campuses decide which campus, because of a series of budget shortfalls, to close
- Guided a college on a name change initiative
- Shown a college how to aggressively increase its tuition without negatively impacting market share
- Helped the president and board of a public institution make a decision on whether or not to go private
- Conducted team-building training for a new senior administration
A Partner for the Road Ahead
Some of our clients recognize the need to supplement their marketing staff by contracting with Stamats' marketing counsel. Presidents and vice presidents appreciate the retainer arrangement because it gives you quick access to outside marketing experts who know your school, and provides an easy-access "sounding board" for proposed changes in your marketing programs.
With a consulting retainer, you are not limited to access with one Stamats team member. If you have a direct marketing need, we connect you with our direct marketing expert. If you have a publication concern, we send one of our creative team members to campus for a day. If you'd like to discuss research, we can put you in touch with a research expert. You basically hire Stamats and we work together to set up who visits and when.
