#29 β Stop getting "rubbish" AI results. Learn the 4-step RTCO prompt engineering framework to unlock real generative AI productivity for your business.

I break down the RTCO method in my new post.

It's a hard question to be honest, I personally measure them by the systems I manage to put in place rather than the visible marketing. How do you do it?

My first 6 months as a #founder I felt like I was failing
I was chasing the visible momentum I was used to from corporate
The reality? The most important work was happening underground.
I wasn't building momentum, I was building roots
Trust the unseen progress

We've made #marketing too complex.
Founders are burning cash on channels that don't work.
Your competitive edge isn't a bigger budget.
It's radical clarity.

Stop wasting millions on glossy brochures and paid ads nobody trusts.
Your university's most powerful marketing asset is already on campus, and it's not your marketing team.

3. The Social Proof Flywheel:
One official post feels like an ad.
A dozen students sharing their "day in the life" on Instagram feels like a movement.
#Ambassadors put your social proof on autopilot.

2. The Relatability Engine:
Prospects don't see themselves in a 40-year-old marketing director.
They see their future selves in a current student who shares their anxieties and excitement.
That connection is un-buyable.

1. The Authenticity Gap:
Your marketing team is paid to say great things.
A student ambassador is trusted to tell the real story.
#GenZ can spot the difference from a mile away.

The data on Gen Z is undeniable. After a decade of seeing polished, corporate-speak, they've developed an allergy to it.
They don't trust institutions; they trust individuals.
