BOSTON – May 15, 2013 –Schneider Associates (SA), an integrated marketing, public relations and digital communications firm today announced it has added several prestigious higher education clients to its emerging education practice. They include:

-          University of Pittsburgh’s College of Business Administration

-          Penn Foster

-          New England College of Business and Finance

-          Virginia College

For these new accounts, SA will conceptualize, develop and execute a variety of integrated campaigns, many of which focus solely on leveraging social media channels.  SA’s education clients have partnered with the agency because of its experience deploying quantifiable digital and traditional media programs that focus on driving traffic and generating leads while building awareness and increasing visibility.  

“More and more colleges and universities are behaving like major consumer brands when it comes to their communications initiatives,” said Sarah Scalese, Director of the Corporate, Education & Nonprofit Group.  “All schools are focused on enrollment, retention and giving, but we’ve found an increasing number of colleges and universities are committed to  raising awareness via traditional media relations as well as harnessing the power of social media to impact student engagement, enrollment, rankings and fundraising efforts.”  

The Corporate, Education & Nonprofit Group works with clients including regional and national financial service institutions, law firms and commercial real estate companies.  The group’s practice expanded to include education in February 2011, when SA launched MIT Sloan’s Executive MBA program.  In addition to the aforementioned education clients, the group also worked with Harvard Business Publishing, and launched The Alumni Factor's new college ranking service and Dr. Sarah McGinty’s fifth edition of The College Application Essay
