Hi, I’m Jaime Hunt.

I help universities solve their biggest marketing and branding challenges.

Tailored consulting solutions

With twenty years in the trenches — from R1 flagships to small, mission-driven privates — I pair proven higher-ed expertise with a disruptive mindset. It’s the blend of hard-won experience and a constant push to stay ahead of what’s coming.
