About me
My name is Matt Hames, and I’m a Digital Strategist working at 3 Enrollment Marketing.
We focus on enrollment marketing for higher education. I also put on seminars on how to use digital media to attract and retain prospective students. If you’re interested, drop me a DM on Twitter and I’ll send you details on upcoming courses.

Most people think the biggest hurdle for people in social media are the resources. Who will add content?
I actually think that is wrong, especially in higher education. I think higher education makes more than enough content. What is missing is someone to say this is the right content, or this isn’t.
What is also missing is the notion that some people are interested in your school. And some are intentional about your school.
Start with intent. People who do a google search for a school “intend” to find out more about the school. I want to know more about school. So they google it. This is what we call SEO, but it really just means there are many people, due to other marketing, school visits, athletics wins, etc, who intend to learn about the school.
Interest marketing is different. With so much data out there about people, this is where smart marketers can place their school in front of people who might be interested. From Facebook interests to Google interests, this new form of marketing is demographic-based (17 year old in Texas) but also interest based.
That’s why this blog is called Interest and Intent marketing. Agree? Disagree? Contact. Or get me at Twitter.
Enough about me. What about you?

Matt;
I’m in Doug Bean’s Marketing class at UB, and heard you discuss Web 2.0 today. Your presentation was the most fascinating discussion we’ve had all year (don’t tell Doug yet, I haven’t got my grade, ha!). I’m a neophyte most of these new venues, but this Brave New World is quite compelling.
Thank you for taking the time to visit with us and pulling the curtain aside a bit.
No problem Mark, it was a pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to add to this part of the site.
The future expansion of EMA:
