MITCHELL JACKSON

Enrollment Marketing & Creative Strategy

I’m a communications and marketing professional with a background in education, enrollment marketing, brand strategy and creative development.

During my time in Plano ISD, my role has grown from creating and executing communications to leading strategic marketing initiatives that shape how the district connects with current and prospective families. I’ve developed integrated campaigns, led enrollment marketing strategy, authored the district’s first comprehensive brand and style guidelines and helped expand the role of short-form video across district communications.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy and creative. I enjoy taking a complex challenge, identifying the audience and the message, and turning it into something clear, compelling and useful—whether that’s a campaign, video, social content, print piece or outdoor concept.

I care about the thinking behind the work just as much as the work itself: Who are we trying to reach? What do they need to know? What will make them care? And what should happen next?
