HIGHER ED MARKETING BLOG

Robert Johns

As Director of Operations, I live at the intersection of creative and project management. I describe my role as "air traffic control for the agency" - my job is to ensure that limited project resources are allocated to the right problems at the right time. I also make sure that UN's design, development, and marketing teams have the right tools and processes in place to develop effective brand awareness strategies for clients.
