Why alumni engagement is such a challenge right now
Shallow Connections 🎭
Alumni mostly hear from you when you’re asking for something.
Content Bottlenecks 🎥
Producing even a few alumni videos takes months.
Scale vs. Personalization 📣
Mass emails don’t connect, and personal outreach doesn’t scale.
Missed Early Touchpoints ⏳
By the time you reach out, many alumni have already drifted away.
Why Advize is the solution
