Colleges and universities are under increasing pressure to stand out from the competition and convey authentic messages. In a digital world, they need to develop new marketing strategies to meet the growing needs of a declining number of prospective and current students and at the same time strengthen their unique selling proposition.

The new book "Studierendenmarketing und Hochschulbranding: Wie Hochschulen erfolgreich Studierende erreichen und gewinnen können" shows how this can be achieved and what stumbling blocks need to be overcome. It offers a comprehensive guide for providers in the tertiary education sector who want to optimize their marketing strategies: from the design of the university brand to targeted digital communication.
