Lianna Serko
Director of Strategic Communications

Kogod School of Business

Landmark College has been working with Belfort Group for about 8 years. We started because we really needed to build our digital marketing strategy. We wanted greater brand awareness, better lead generation, and our partnership with BG has allowed us to really hit those metrics. We’re really convincingly now a national liberal arts college for students who learn differently thanks to a very strong digital marketing strategy … Overall we have a much more consistent presence in the market for recruiting students, reaching educators, and education professionals with all the programs we offer.
