Why Branding in Education Can’t Be an Afterthought: A Conversation with Joey Yorba

mardi 17 juin 2025 • Durée 21:58

Episode Title: Beyond the Logo: Why Education Needs Bold Brands and Smart Strategy

Guest: Joey Yorba, Managing Director, Super Top Secret

Guest Website: wearetopsecret.com

Guest LinkedIn: Joey Yorba

Host: Jacob Hanson

About Joey Yorba:Joey Yorba is the Managing Director of Super Top Secret, a creative agency that’s helped some of the world’s most recognizable brands—from Nike to Xbox—cut through the noise with bold, emotionally resonant storytelling. With a deep background in creative direction and brand psychology, Joey now brings that global expertise to the education space, helping mission-driven organizations lead with authenticity and impact.

At STS, he leads multidisciplinary teams that develop everything from foundational strategy to full-scale campaigns—all with one goal: building brands that don’t just look good, but feel unforgettable.

Key Topics Covered:

What a brand actually is—and why most education orgs get it wrong “A brand is what someone says about you when you're not in the room.”
The high cost of reactive communications and under-invested branding “We still have people who think, ‘We’ll just do the logo now and figure the rest out later.’ That’s how you waste money.”
The importance of emotional resonance and design systems “Every touchpoint matters. You can't say you care about equity and then have a clunky, inaccessible website.”
Why brand strategy is foundational—not optional “This isn’t a nice-to-have anymore. If you’re not shaping the narrative, you’re being shaped by it.”
Quick tests to assess your messaging clarity “Ask five people to explain what your company does. If you get five different answers, you’ve got a brand problem.”

Education in Flux: Finding Opportunity in Localized Markets

mardi 13 mai 2025 • Durée 28:14

"It’s not the sky falling—it’s the ground shifting."

Federal restructuring. State budget cuts. A surge in school choice and local control. The education landscape is undergoing a seismic shift—and companies that cling to national-only strategies risk being left behind.

In this episode of The Education Insider, host Jacob Hanson is joined by Michael Campbell, President of Advancing Global EDU, to break down why localization isn’t just an adjustment—it’s a survival strategy. They explore how hyper-targeted messaging, state-by-state go-to-market plans, and community-centered PR can help education companies not only keep pace, but lead the way.

Packed with real-world examples, tactical guidance, and bold predictions, this episode will reshape how you think about scaling in education. If you’re wondering how to turn policy chaos into market clarity, this is your roadmap.

The Future of Standardized Testing – Disruption, Innovation, and Opportunity

mercredi 19 mars 2025 • Durée 47:17

As universities move toward test-optional admissions, the standardized testing industry is at a crossroads. While critics argue that the SAT and ACT perpetuate inequality, others question how colleges can fairly evaluate students without a common metric. If standardized tests disappear, what replaces them?

Host Jacob Hanson sits down with Adil Husain, founder of Emerging Strategy, and PR expert Kristen Plemon to explore the uncertain future of high-stakes testing. They dissect the industry's failure to control its own narrative and the risks of abandoning standardized assessments without a clear alternative. Despite decades of influence, organizations like the College Board and ACT have been surprisingly silent in the debate over their own relevance.

"What we always counsel clients on in terms of PR is when you leave a void, others are going to fill it,” says Plemon. “So you lose that thought leadership. And they have spent decades building this expertise, this trusted brand and credibility. And if they're letting others step in to take that, that's going to erode their brand over time.”

Meanwhile, as test-optional policies become common, data is becoming more skewed—leading to an even more competitive and subjective admissions process. “What’s happening now with test-optional policies is that only students with the highest scores are submitting, which is skewing data and making the admissions process even more competitive,” Plemon adds. “Colleges need a way to fairly compare students, and without a standardized measure, that becomes much harder.”

Without a strong voice from the industry, critics of standardized testing are shaping the conversation. As Husain says, “The criticisms that they're biased or ineffective should be addressed either through improvements or better communication, but simply accepting the criticism and backing off from the debate altogether seems to be a disservice, not only to their business and their employees but to the institutions trying to make objective decisions from a growing number of applicants.”

The future of standardized testing isn’t just about whether the SAT and ACT survive. It’s about whether the education industry can define a better way to assess student readiness—or if test-optional policies are simply shifting the advantage to those with more resources.

mardi 4 mars 2025 • Durée 40:29

The Value (and Necessity) of a District’s Strong Brand Identity

In an era of declining enrollment, school choice expansion, and crisis management, a strong brand identity is more crucial than ever for school districts. In this episode of The Education Insider, host Jacob Hanson sits down with Dr. Kecia Ray, former superintendent and founder of K20 Connect, to discuss why school districts must take control of their narrative.

From branding strategies to crisis communications, Dr. Ray shares insights on how districts can build trust with their communities, proactively engage stakeholders, and ensure families recognize the value of public education. The conversation also touches on lessons from Nashville’s school system, the role of AI in education communications, and the importance of messaging around national policy changes.
