An Innovator In Education Marketing Technology
EDU Interactive is an Inquiry Generation Company founded in 2011 as Becker Interactive, Inc. by a seasoned Media, Education, and Technology leadership team.
With our education-focused brand update to EDU Interactive in 2016, we placed further emphasis on integrity in our mission to help unite schools with great students.
Today, we continue to learn from every campaign. We apply experience of past successes with new innovation and apply this focus to our continued long term dedication to the Education Industry.
EDU is All We Do!
In contrast to typical lead generation companies who approach the market from the perspective of general marketing and technology only, EDU Interactive has solid roots in three critical areas: Silicon Valley Technology, Educational Marketing and Traditional Media.
Quality Control and Compliance are central to our DNA. Our Silicon Valley tech team maintains in-house control of all technology used to generate inquiries for schools. EDU Interactive’s engineering team combines the use of proprietary technologies and best-of-breed third party applications to ensure the highest quality results.
The EDU Interactive Advantage comes from our extensive media experience, combined with first-hand Education industry experience and an industry leading technology platform. These key elements ensure that only students who express intent are submitted as inquiries to your school.
"We bring a Personalized Level of Service to every client we work with,
which is why our clients love us and stay with us."
These are the leaders, along with a team of Media, IT, and Support Professionals, who make it all happen.
Admiration for brand building and decades developing Marketing, Sales, and General Management in Silicon Valley — working with start-ups and global brands such as Apple, Safeway, and Informix - led Michael Miller to join forces with industry leaders to create EDU Interactive. Michael’s drive for Education comes naturally, growing up around quite a few educators and eventually marrying a teacher. Every time he meets someone whose life has been changed by one of our client schools, his drive to match students with schools becomes even stronger.
As the brains behind the operation, James Hawks led the development of EDU Interactive’s industry-leading technology platform. His passion for analytics, combined with a deep understanding of diverse media channels, drives him to lead a devoted effort, focused on optimization of every campaign, large and small. During the late 90's James was there implementing technology platforms for auto finance and mortgage industries. The results of his 18+ years of experience and leadership are seen every time a student connects with a school advisor and enrolls making an investment in his or her future.
For more than a decade, Jeremey has been dedicated to the college industry. He began where all of the magic happens, an Admissions Advisor with Bryman College and Assistant Director of Admissions at Delta Career Education. Jeremey then became an instrumental part of building a start-up technology company in Silicon Valley called AcademixDirect, helping the company grow to meet the needs of colleges and universities across the country. His analytic skills were further sharpened as a member of the EDU team at Quinstreet, before joining EDU Interactive.
