Our Story
With over 15 years of experience boosting enrollment for career colleges and trade schools, the experts at College Marketing Pros have mastered the art and science of higher education marketing.
Originally founded by Hamlet Arias, whose hands-on leadership roles gave him an insider’s view of the challenges schools face attracting and enrolling qualified students, College Marketing Pros was founded with the sole purpose of helping higher education institutions thrive in today’s digital landscape.
Frustrated by the mediocre results delivered by traditional agencies, Hamlet knew he could do better. Partnering with local marketing powerhouse Michael Gonzalez, together they built a suite of proven solutions that generate high-quality leads, increase enrollment, and grow tuition revenue.
But it’s not just their track record of results that sets College Marketing Pros apart. It’s their passion for helping schools succeed. Over the past decade, Hamlet and Michael have worked closely with admissions and marketing teams at career colleges, community colleges, and universities across the country. This close collaboration allows them to understand each school’s unique enrollment goals and challenges.
Armed with this insider’s perspective, College Marketing Pros develops customized digital marketing campaigns using the latest data-driven tactics. From SEO and PPC to social media and beyond, they leave no stone unturned in their quest to connect schools with qualified prospective students.
The numbers speak for themselves. On average, schools see lead generation climb 60%, student population doubling in months, and a better ROI after partnering with College Marketing Pros.
Driven by their mission to help every higher education institution thrive and grow, Hamlet, Michael, and the College Marketing Pros team continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in higher ed digital marketing.
