While listening to our conversation with John Jorgenson, CMO at Cambium Learning Group, you will surely agree that their focus on building brand affinity and not merely awareness is what truly sets them apart.
They focus on understanding the needs of the students and teachers they serve. Their approach to meeting challenges head-on with the pandemic has helped them create brand affinity amongst their users and their employees with their responsive Remote First campaign. They immediately considered how it affects each person in their organisation and used real emotional stories with customers in mind, which led to more brand affinity in return.
Putting people first has come full circle for the Cambium Learning Group as they steadily become first in their field in the USA and globally. Today they are a $1 Billion portfolio company within the education technology space with five distinct business units, all serving the K12 segment. They currently have +20 million students, and more than 30% of all teachers in the USA using Cambium as their preferred ed-tech solution.
John shares their journey and how they grew the business fivefold in only five short years by very intentionally building a House of Brands. Their unique brand architecture and shared services take care of all the corporate responsibilities that businesses often don’t want to deal with. John explains how they ensure that each brand can focus on product innovation for their distinct audiences and top-notch customer success at every level. It allows them to deliver very targeted solutions that are the absolute best in their respective space.
