Class Dismissed: InspirED Closes

the Brilliance Awards Live On

Change is difficult—for individuals, groups, and organizations. Today, we’re making a change that touches all three.

After more than three decades in private school marketing and communications, we are retiring and closing InspirED School Marketers.

This Decision Is Bittersweet

We’re looking forward to more time with family and friends, learning new skills, and giving back. Rob will golf more, Liza will spend more time working with therapy dogs, and we’ll both donate our time more.

It has been an honor to celebrate your work through the Brilliance Awards and to support you through our podcast, blog, the Daily Jolt, Ask an Expert, MarCom Survey Report, and SparkSessions. We’re especially grateful to our Senior Partners, members of the Photographer and Filmmaker Guide, and Daily Jolt sponsors for their trust and support.

The Brilliance Awards Will Continue—to Celebrate You

We’re pleased to share that the Brilliance Awards will continue under new leadership, ensuring this part of InspirED’s legacy lives on.

Our Cup is Full

When we founded InspirED in 2013, free support for school marketers was hard to find. Today, help is everywhere—and we’re proud to have been part of that evolution.

We leave this community deeply thankful for the relationships we’ve built and for the opportunity to deliver brilliant ideas and brain food to make your job easier. Truly, we have received far more than we’ve given.

You are brilliant.

Liza and Rob

P.S. In case you missed it above: The Brilliance Awards will continue under new leadership! More details soon.
