• Produce and deliver marketing materials for K-12 audiences: campaign assets, collateral, email, web, and social content
• Optimize marketing strategy based on funnel performance, audience insight, and market feedback
• Monitor campaign impact and ROI — track cost per lead, MQL-to-SQL conversion, and pipeline contribution, and use what you learn to sharpen the next campaign
