  "description": "Direct Development is a full-service digital marketing agency specializing in higher education. The company helps educational institutions 'do the impossible' by enrolling more students despite smaller budgets, fewer staff, and rising ad costs—essentially helping 'Davids beat Goliaths.' With roots in nonprofit fundraising from the 1980s, the agency reinvented itself in 2014 to focus exclusively on education and nonprofits using inbound marketing, full-funnel attribution, and sustainable strategies. They offer services in enrollment marketing, digital advertising, SEO, HubSpot integration, brand strategy, and website development.",
