In this low touch economy, schools had to quickly adjust, with those prepared more successful than others. A common misconception is looking at marketing as a magic wand without understanding its pre requisites. Unless the foundations of schools have been crafted solidly, no amount of marketing “quick fix” can sell a bad product, in fact, it will even accelerate its demise. Josiah Go, the most awarded business educator in the Philippines and co-author of the best-selling book “Principles and Practices of Marketing in the Philippine Setting” shares cases of innovative schools that clearly stood out, cites dislikes and wish list from students and alumni while working on school marketing projects and recommends what schools can do to improve its brand equity.
