Does Inbound Marketing Work in Education? 

The way students find schools, research them, and ultimately decide which school to attend has changed dramatically. Rather than waiting for a brochure to arrive in the mail, students seek information on the internet. And, this is where inbound marketing comes in. The inbound marketing methodology lets you attract strangers to your website and eventually turn them into your best fans.

 

Inbound marketing helps you speak to your targeted students about the topics they find interesting. According to HubSpot, schools that use inbound marketing are seven times more likely to report a higher ROI than schools using traditional marketing. And inbound related applicants are three times more qualified than leads acquired through conventional methods.

Ads on ChatGPT Are Live: What AI Advertising Means for Your Businesses

By Jared Broussard • February 23, 2026
Hey everyone. It's Jared. I want to talk about digital advertising , which is one of my favorite topics. Advertising inside ChatGPT is no longer theoretical. It has begun. Confirmed reports show ads now appearing for some signed-in desktop users in the United States. Even more surprising, they are triggering on the very first prompt. That detail alone changes the conversation. For the first time, brands are appearing directly inside AI-generated answers at the exact moment someone asks a question, compares options, or evaluates a decision. That is fundamentally different from search engines or social feeds. And it signals a meaningful shift in how digital advertising will work moving forward.
