VisionPoint Marketing is a marketing agency that helps colleges, universities and community colleges meet their admissions, branding, fundraising and communication goals. Our commitment to strategy, diverse understanding of all marketing disciplines and ability to build consensus across scores of stakeholders enables us to form deep, long standing client relationships.

VisionPoint Marketing boasts a team of really smart people who work collaboratively - without allowing egos or company politics to get in the way. We work in tandem with clients to help make them successful. We work comfortably in an environment of constant change, and we thrive under the pressure of deadlines.

We work hard. But we achieve a balance of hard work and hard play, and we wouldn’t want to be doing anything else or doing it any other way.

Contribute to Something that Matters

At VisionPoint, our exclusive focus is in higher education. We serve universities, colleges and community colleges around the country – from nearby schools like NC State, Duke and the University of Virginia to Pacific coast schools like UC Santa Barbara. We chose higher education as our playground because, frankly, we believe in what we're marketing. We're not curing cancer, but we just might be helping the next great cancer researcher find their perfect school. Learn more about our focus on higher education!

Do Some Amazing Work

Our portfolio will show you award-winning branding, marketing and website design (among other work). Year over year, we’re invited to share our work at many of higher education’s preeminent marketing conferences around the country. We're proud of that work, but we know we can make it even better. Maybe you can help. View our portfolio!

Help to Shape a Great Culture

We're a small company – dozens, not hundreds – with an outstanding group of bright, passionate and just downright good people. Since 2001, we've worked hard to build a culture in which everyone has a voice and everyone has an impact. You're one of a handful of influencers at VisionPoint, not one in a crowd. Meet our team!

Our people and culture are guided by a fundamental set of values we call Vision Points. Our Vision Points inform everything we do--from the work we take on to the people we hire to the way those people answer their phones. Our Vision Points are the proverbial bar by which we measure our performance. They unite us as a group and foster deep connections with our clients. They are what make us...well, us. View our Vision Points!

Not to mention our company offers an outstanding benefit package that includes options for health, dental, vision, matching 401k, paid time off and some other cool stuff. No, we're not able to match a huge corporate salary, but we are competitive. To be honest, if money is your primary motivation, you won't be a good fit here. We're looking for people who want to create amazing work, contribute to an amazing culture and serve clients who are making a critical difference in people's lives.

Model our core values in every interaction, serving as a first-level escalation point for identifying opportunities, problem-solving, and strengthening our client satisfaction and project performance.

Client Strategy & Consulting

Contribute to the growth of the agency by serving as a spokesperson and leading representative in discovery meetings, and a subject matter expert on proposals and pitches, particularly concerning enrollment management challenges and solutions.
Oversee and conduct quantitative and qualitative research to develop effective strategies across brand, web, advertising, and enrollment marketing initiatives, with a direct focus on driving demand, applications, and maximizing yield for our client partners.
Serve as a primary contributor and leader of the Strategy team, develop data-driven strategic plans and support tactical roadmaps; quantify impact using enrollment funnel metrics (inquiries, apps, admits, deposits, enrollments).
Monitor, measure, benchmark, analyze, and consult with our client services team and clients on their strategies and plans throughout project engagements to suggest pivots, reallocations, and investments as appropriate for each client partner’s objectives.
In collaboration with teams across the agency, build processes and develop offerings to ensure the execution of effective plans and attainment of enrollment goals.

Business Development

Partner with our Client Experience team to envision, scope, price, and pitch enrollment-focused projects and relationships.
