ABOUT GARRETT MARINO

Creativity drives how I lead, communicate, and solve problems. My foundation in theatre arts gives me a unique lens for storytelling, branding, and team leadership. That experience has taught me how to connect with diverse audiences, shapes how I simplify complex ideas, and brings fresh thinking to systems, strategy, and engagement.For over 20 years now, I’ve worked at the intersection of admissions, marketing, and enrollment operations. At Fordham and SUNY Purchase, two distinctive and mission-driven institutions, I’ve led recruitment strategies, optimized CRM systems, built high-performing teams, and collaborated with marketing leaders to expand the top of funnel and strengthen enrollment pipelines.My approach in my work is about- blending data and empathy - using analytics to guide decisions - building messaging that resonates with students and stakeholders- focusing on building systems that empower teams to grow.I’ve partnered with external vendors, led cross-functional initiatives, and managed strategic campaigns that support institutional goals.Currently, I’m completing my M.S. in Strategic Marketing Communications at Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business. This is expanding my experience and knowledge-base in brand strategy, audience targeting, and multichannel storytelling.I’m always exploring how creativity, content, and technology can come together to drive better enrollment outcomes.Let’s connect!
