Education marketing has a credibility ceiling that paid ads cannot crack. Prospective students Google institutions. EdTech buyers research platforms in Inside Higher Ed and EdSurge. Course creators selling $2K+ programs need press coverage to escape the "guru" stigma that LinkedIn ads can't outrun. Coverage in trusted education trade press is the moat that converts higher-ticket sales.
RedPress places education news on EdTech Magazine, Inside Higher Ed, EdSurge, and Class Central — the publications enrollment officers, IT buyers, and serious learners actually read. Universities, K-12 platforms, course creators, and bootcamps use us because the resulting media footprint shows up in the searches that matter.
