Deborah Wiltrout Brand Coach<\/span><\/h2>\n
Experienced higher ed marketing professional. Strategic thinker. Brand guru. Creative mentor. Team lead on UMD\u2019s Fear the Turtle and American University’s WONK brand campaigns. Emmy winner. Multiple CASE Grand Gold winner. Institutional cheerleader. And now, brand coach for hire.<\/div>\n

\"Deborah<\/a>After spending six years with an award-winning advertising agency and the last 12 on the \u201cinside\u201d of higher education marketing, Deb Wiltrout decided to set out on her own. During that time, she helped create three institutional brand campaigns, which have become some the most recognized brand campaigns in the industry. As a former AVP of Marketing she understands the diversity, complexity and budget realities of the higher education landscape. She also knows that there are many colleges and universities who need to create memorable brand campaigns for their institutions, but either can’t afford to hire a quality, full-service agency to do it, or don’t have the bandwidth to undertake the effort on their own.<\/p>\n

Deb\u2019s focus is on the in-house team\u2014involving them in the creative process, coaching them to think more like an agency, guiding them to create an authentic brand for the university and then, once the campaign rolls out, stepping back and letting them run things on their own (providing guidance, as needed, in the future).<\/p>\n

This approach has worked in the past. Deb has led two successful and highly visible higher ed branding initiatives, creating the Fear the Turtle campaign for the University of Maryland and the WONK campaign for American University. In both instances, she took in-house teams and turned them into in-house agencies producing campaigns that were the envy of higher education and recognized with industry awards, including an Emmy, Addys, Tellys, CASE Circle of Excellence awards at the highest level, and AMA Top Marketer of Year (2012). Now, she\u2019s available to bring that knowledge and expertise to you.<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n
