Ep. 5: Grow Your Followers With Student Stories

About the Episode

The what's what...

Gustavo Segui combined two foundational principles: 1) What systems are already in place that we could leverage? and 2) How do we make students the protagonists of their own stories? Find out how he accomplished both and as a result, tripled the International School of Curitiba’s followers and reach on Instagram simply by featuring students in their proudest moments.

Interviewee

Gustavo Segui

Gustavo Segui is a dynamic professional with expertise in marketing, education, and entrepreneurship. Currently the Director of Marketing, Advancement & Admissions at the International School of Curitiba in Brazil, he drives the school forward through strategy, creative campaigns, organizational culture, and creating a sense of belonging for staff and students alike. With an MBA in Advertising, experience in international marketing, and successful entrepreneurial ventures, he brings creativity, nimbleness, and a global perspective to his work.

Talking Tactics

Talking Tactics devotes episodes to a single tactic that moved the needle on any enrollment metric: inquiries, booth visitors, apps completed, deposits, reach, engagement, registrations, views, you name it. The catch? The tactic had to be done with limited resources: either by a single person, a small-but-mighty team, limited time, or without a lot of money. And because this podcast focuses on single tactics from idea to results, what you hear will feel like something you can immediately go try yourself.
