Andover, MA (PRLEAK) September 28, 2009 – Marketing professionals in the private, for-profit education industry that are interested in social media and lead generation now have the chance to improve their skills and network. The creation of a LinkedIn group known as For Profit & Career School Marketing, by strategic marketing company, Effective Student Marketing, aims at bringing marketing professionals from the private, for-profit education industry, on a common platform to exchange ideas on lead generation, jobs, and industry news and trends.

Andy Kelly, President of Effective Student Marketing is upbeat about the idea and looks forward to having a number of professionals onboard. As per Kelly, the main reason behind the creation of the LinkedIn group, was to give professionals in the industry the chance to connect with each other. Being a social media marketing company, LinkedIn provides the perfect base for such a group. On the other hand, this is a great way for private, for-profit school marketing businesses, to exchange notes and build partnerships in the industry.

Since its inception in early September 2009, over 50 qualified members including Directors of Marketing and Enrollment have joined the For Profit & Career School Marketing group. LinkedIn’s popularity with over 45 million users and 330 million page views in one month alone provided Effective Student Marketing with the perfect opportunity to set up a social media tool. The company has already tasted success on other social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, for their clients and as a strategic marketing company as well.

Effective Student Marketing substantiates their motives behind the For Profit & Career School Marketing group on LinkedIn. Very few groups are dedicated to the private, for-profit school industry, a major factor well noted by the company. The group provides marketing professionals in the education industry with the perfect opportunity to meet potential clients and business partners. Members can seek answers to questions and even find jobs related to their skills and background.
