Dayana “Day” Kibilds is a strategy director at Ologie, focusing primarily on enrollment marketing strategy for educational organizations. 

In her 12 years in the higher education sector, she’s led enrollment and digital innovation work at Penn State, Cornell, and Western University (Canada). She speaks regularly about enrollment marketing, productivity, and stakeholder management at global conferences such as CASE, HighedWeb, Confab, PSE Web, and ContentEd.

As a lifelong immigrant who has lived in six different countries, equity and diversity are really important to her. She sees content as a true equalizer and part of her motivation to work in higher ed is so students of all backgrounds have access to the educational institutions they deserve to be a part of.

Day’s podcast, Talking Tactics, is a show that celebrates enrollment success, one tactic at a time.

The catch? The tactic had to be done with limited resources: either by a single person, a small but mighty team, limited time, or with a low budget.
