Your Goals, Our Domain Expertise

When you partner with NewCity for enrollment services, you don’t get a singular perspective on a multi-faceted problem. You’ll work with experts from each of our five disciplines:

Enrollment Strategy & Marketing

We prioritize your unique audiences and shape strategies that target key conversions in your enrollment cycle.

User Experience and Content Strategy

With a research-backed approach, we review how easy (or not) it is for your users to find and answer key questions on the portal, website, and linked platforms, and show you opportunities to smooth and improve the student/parent journey.

Brand and Visual Design

We help you ensure that your brand experience is visually consistent and your brand messages are reinforced with engaging and relevant content as students and parents move through each stage of the enrollment funnel. 

Technology

We evaluate performance, accessibility, and opportunities to better integrate systems to streamline the enrollment experience for students and parents. 

Digital Marketing & Analytics

We can help you connect the dots between search, social and email platforms and track your efforts with custom Ping or GA4 dashboards, so you can review clean data of the student experience at each stage, and know where to adjust or optimize.

Your Slate Services & Enrollment Strategy Team

Enrollment Services is led by Robynne Lofton whose career spans 26 years in enrollment management positions.

“Through the discovery phase, NewCity was a trusted advisor with great insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by higher education websites. We leaned on their real-time, real-world experience to completely revamp key areas of the website…. The copy and content for our admissions and financial aid sections is an amazingly fresh take on what can be a complex process for prospective students.”
