Wednesday Aug 22, 2018
Wednesday Aug 22, 2018
This episode should probably be titled "What Gen Z Wishes Millennials Understood about Social Media." But we already named the episode and came up with pretty cover art... so we are sticking with it. In this episode, Gretta interviews Michael Newton, a 19 year old college student and entrepreneur who recently launched a company called Swarm which focuses on helping brands reach today's college students through influencer marketing. This is a must listen if you want to understand what it is you are doing wrong with your social media strategy... and yes, you are doing it wrong!

SHI 3009 - Pt 3, Market Data & The Crystal Ball
Thursday Jul 26, 2018
Thursday Jul 26, 2018
There is nothing simple about analyzing market data in student housing. Those who are good at it often are regarded as having a Crystal Ball. Granted, it's not as easy as a siimple equation, but it's not that mystical either. It honestly just takes a lot of experience, the ability to ask a lot of deep diving questions, and understanding your customer. In this 3 part series, Gretta sits down with Maggie Owens to outline what developers and owners of purpose built off-campus student housing should be focused on before finalizing a contract.
