If your enrollment numbers are stalling, the instinct is to spend more on marketing. More ads. More campaigns. More budget.
But what if that's the wrong problem to solve?
In this episode, Ashley sits down with Ryan Morabito — brand strategist and partner to 125+ colleges and universities including NYU, Marquette, and Baylor — to talk about why so many institutions are treating the symptom instead of the cause, and what the schools that are actually thriving are doing differently.
What you'll hear in this episode:

  • Why marketing is the icing and branding is the cake — and what that means for your enrollment strategy
  • The difference between branding and marketing and why confusing the two is one of the most expensive mistakes in higher ed
  • What silos are actually costing your institution and how thriving schools have moved from cooperation to true collaboration
  • The one sentence from a real student that is the entire enrollment playbook
  • Why students are the heroes of the story and what student centered storytelling actually looks like in practice
  • A 3 step framework for meaningful brand change you can start applying right now

In this episode, we sit down with Josh Fischer, founder of The Progressus Companies, to explore the critical connection between accreditation and marketing in higher education. Josh shares his expertise on how schools can build trust with prospective students, design field-ready programs, and communicate their value in an increasingly competitive landscape where ROI has become the loudest conversation in the room.

Key Takeaways

  • Accreditation is a trust signal, not just a checkbox – In an era of declining birth rates and AI-generated content, accreditation serves as third-party validation that helps institutions stand out. Students aren't just buying education anymore—they're buying career paths and outcomes.
  • Design programs with the end user in mind, not the ivory tower – Institutions need to move beyond internal assumptions and actually listen to faculty feedback, conduct market research, and understand student requirements. Field-ready programming that connects students to employers and outcomes will always outperform outdated curriculum.
  • Consistency and clear outcomes are non-negotiable – Prospective students need to see straightforward connections between courses and career outcomes, faculty expertise and program goals, and accreditation and real-world results. Mixed messaging across platforms destroys trust faster than anything else.

Online entrepreneurs, listen up. In this episode of the Onya Mic Podcast, Onya CEO Ashley Monk shares how to bridge the gap between your advertisement and content.

So you are successful in bringing people in to your funnel through ads. The question is how are you keeping them in your ecosystem? What touchpoints are you executing?

Social selling helps people on the top of your funnel get connected to your content. This is not the typical sales talk where the intention is merely to sell.

Stay tuned for these gems in this episode:

  1. How does social selling work (and how it doesn’t)?
  2. Consistent social selling
  3. Your prospects are not yet ready for your services? That’s okay!

Last October, Facebook became unavailable globally along with its sister companies such as Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp to name a few. Luckily, before the global outage of the social media platforms, Onya had already moved and was able to invest in other strategies and platforms for advertising and marketing.

Diversifying online marketing approaches has become absolutely critical. Multi-channel marketing is now imperative for businesses to reach maximum potential of their ads.

In this episode of the Onya Mic Podcast, Onya CEO Ashley Monk introduces having touchpoints outside of your main platform. Doing so bridges the gap between the entrepreneur and the audience.

Ashley shares, “ You really need to be thinking about future-proofing your business and going beyond just one platform, because one platform is enough to get you started but it’s not enough to get you to the finish line.”

Here are three things from this episode that you would want to hear about:

  1. Engage in multiple channels
  2. Own the information you are able to capture
  3. Social selling involves building relationships as well

Onya CEO Ashley Monk interviews Unstoppable Entrepreneur multi-million dollar brand strategist Kelly Roach about conviction marketing in today’s episode of the Onya Mic Podcast.

What is conviction marketing and how does it impact a business? Kelly shares that conviction marketing is looking inside and doing the deep reflective work of assessing what your core belief system is and identifying your conviction, and incorporating that into your messaging.

A lot of people miss out on the power of leveraging this marketing strategy. Too often entrepreneurs lose sight of their convictions because life gets in the way—they get lost in the daily minutiae of their business. As time passes for them without feeling that surge of satisfaction until they forget about aligning themselves with what matters.

Conviction marketing sets a business apart from what everyone else is doing by adding an ingredient that makes it invaluable to the eyes of your audience—YOU. It requires entrepreneurs to be courageous enough to show the person behind the business, and skip the me-too marketing tactic.

Keep listening and take these gems with you to use in your business:

  1. Top tip for creating compelling marketing that generates leads
  2. Joining the bandwagon- is it always worth it?

Heads up, entrepreneurs! In this new episode of the Influential Entrepreneur, Ashley Monk and Mary Bicknell talk about transforming belief systems that free entrepreneurs, especially women in business, from limiting their success. Mary is an LCSW, speaker, business owner and founder of The 5% Club, through which she provides support to women entrepreneurs and helps them become top-earners.

In our modern world right now we think that we have moved away from so many irrational belief systems, but as Ashley and Mary take a closer look at their coaching experiences, they discover that a lot of entrepreneurs, most importantly women in business, are still caught up in the mire of people’s judgment. Achieving new levels of success somehow looks scary from where they are viewing it. Mary points out that entrepreneurs tend not to trust themselves because they have been listening to everybody else. Most have not realized yet that a mindset shift is necessary at this point.

Influential entrepreneurs, stay tuned for more enlightening thoughts:

  1. How to get unstuck and stop playing small
  2. How your relationship with money affects how you deal with your business
  3. Recreating your narrative and embracing the abundance mindset

A very important reminder to you, our fellow entrepreneurs: Those who tell you what you should and should not do have all the time in the world, and those people you want to emulate are probably too busy to judge your actions.

Everyone on social media now is going live. When live launching comes to mind, what do you think of it? In this new episode of the Influential Entrepreneur Podcast, Jessica Rodriguez joins Ashley Monk and they talk about the power of live launching. She is the founder of Freedom Driven Success and is a wife, a furbaby momma, fair-weather runner, music lover, and taco aficionado.

Live launches can be scary because a lot of people do not like it when things go wrong especially when it comes to marketing your offer. However, Jessica points out that being intentional when you are selling to people opens the doors of opportunity to connect with prospective clients. People get to know the person behind the brand. Conversations, connections, and questions that can never be touched on with an automated approach to marketing can be experienced in a live launch. Experience, aside from all the data that can be gathered, is the center point of live launching in which both the consumer and the entrepreneur benefit.

Tune in with the Influential Entrepreneur Podcast, this episode has so much to offer:

  1. Know the reason why entrepreneurs fear launch periods of their business
  2. Learn which type of live launch suits your business
  3. Hear about how to deal with a live launch that isn’t going as planned
