MEETING THE MOMENT.

Higher education has been through some truly transformative periods. With the sheer pace of change in today's world, it becomes imperative to both unequivocally communicate to, and powerfully connect with, an institution's various communities. XPL's speed and effectiveness allow it to bring experiential solutions to a school's biggest needs with power and precision.

The XPL Difference

We've taken what we've learned over 30 years in the corporate and non-profit sectors and applied to higher ed's traditional audiences. Sometimes in non-traditional ways. Universities and colleges are the launch pad for world-changing innovation and growth. We love being a part of that change.

Higher Education has been our fastest growing client sector and there is a reason for this. We are the anti-agency.  We are small enough to not care: about our egos, industry rules, sales goals, social media posts. But we are also small enough to care: about our industry, the people who work here, and the world around us. Our personal, hands-on approach means you are a true partner, not an "account." This is why so many of our client collaborations end up winning CASE awards.

PARTNER'S Promise

When Kevin and I met nearly a decade ago, it was on a stage. And as we grow this company, we still love practicing our crafts. It’s one of the reasons why I think clients truly enjoy working with XPL. The executives aren’t in some ivory tower making sales figures - you don’t just meet us in the beginning and then see us again at the event. We stay deeply engaged in our clients’ projects from start to finish, right along with our team.
