701am for Higher Ed / For edtech, OPMs & online-learning companies

Be the platform institutions already trust.

Selling into higher ed is a credibility game — provosts, deans, and procurement committees vet you in the trade press and, increasingly, in what AI says about your category. 701am earns the coverage, data studies, and category authority that make you the obvious choice. Compounding, for a fraction of a PR retainer.

Committees vet edtech vendors across AI, search, and the trades before a single call
The category-trust problem

In edtech, the safe choice wins the contract.
701am makes you it.

Institutions don’t buy the best demo — they buy the vendor that looks established, cited, and low-risk to a committee. If a competitor owns the EdSurge coverage, the “State of Online Learning” study, and the analyst mention, they look like the default and you look like the gamble. 701am earns those signals continuously, so when a dean searches your category, you’re the name that comes back.

Generic PR treats every client the same. 701am works the channels that actually confer credibility in higher ed.

Edtech trade press

AI asks: “best [category] for universities?”
