Get Starts Specializes in Marketing Tools for Schools

Get Starts, headquartered in San Diego, California, specializes in helping schools and colleges achieve recruitment and enrollment goals by combining traditional media with new media marketing tools.

We understand the education industry’s unique lead generation and enrollment challenges. In fact, our President and Founder, Sammy James, put his agency on pause when he was persuaded to run a school by a client in exchange for an equity position. As General Manager, Sammy also took on the institute’s director of admission and marketing positions, overlooking a staff of 40 people.

Drawing from this knowledge and experience, we also stand apart from conventional marketing agencies by embracing the newest technologies that can help schools fill seats. In fact, our team’s been behind many firsts on the Web, including:

• The first live internet stream from the White House (World Wide Radio)
• The first personalized Internet radio station (Imagine Radio)
• One of the first Internet marketing conferences (Web Attack)
• The first internet-based rewards program for Radio and TV stations
• The first live interactive TV promotion “Race to Riches” with Indy 500
• The first interactive outdoor campaign utilizing keywords and speech-to-text technology
• The first web form-to-phone lead generation application for schools

Moreover, our work has won several awards, including Southern California Advertising Association’s Campaign of the Year for a TV campaign we produced to boost enrollments at an IT certification school.

Consequently, our clients – ranging from beauty schools to legal colleges – are often the first to employ and benefit from innovative, world-class marketing tools and campaigns.

This innovative drive, plus the fact that every marketing tool and service Get Starts delivers is based on hard data, gains schools and colleges in various countries unmatched advantages.

“We’re able to provide the right solutions consistently because it’s numbers – not opinions – that are driving decisions and results,” says Sammy, who has gained 30 years of media and marketing experience across the US and Canada.

Get Starts maintains strategic service partnerships with technology, web and creative companies around the globe to ensure schools and colleges continue to benefit from industry-leading solutions, both online and offline.
