Founder and CEO @ SchneiderB Media Inc. | K12 Digital Marketing Consultant

👋 Hi, I'm Brendan. 

A decade ago, I was immersed in traditional K12 school marketing, following the conventional playbook that everyone else used. After years of expensive advertising campaigns and diminishing returns, I discovered something transformative: inbound marketing—a methodology that would revolutionize how schools attract and enroll new families.

That revelation led me to pioneer a new approach to education marketing, helping schools move beyond outdated tactics to build sustainable enrollment systems.

In 2025, I captured these insights in my new book "School Marketing The Right Way," which became an instant Amazon bestseller in Education Marketing. The book reveals the system I've used to help schools transform their enrollment outcomes.

Today, I share what I've learned through:
→ My weekly newsletter read by 5,000+ education leaders
→ Speaking engagements at major education conferences
→ Consulting with K12 schools ready to use the Internet to drive inquiries
→ Training workshops and community through the MarCom Society
→ My Marketing automation software, School MarketingCRM

My mission is simple: help tuition-charging schools earn more inquiries and empower marketing, communication, and enrollment professionals with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in the digital age.

Senior UI/UX Designer @ Toptal | Prototyping, Branding, UI Development

I am a Senior UI/UX Designer at Toptal, a network of the world's top 3% of software engineering, design, and finance talent. With over 10 years of experience in the design industry, I have a proven track record of creating visually engaging and user-friendly interfaces for in-car navigation systems, SaaS apps, and marketing websites.

My background in business and economics gives me a unique perspective on how to design UX and UI that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional, efficient, and user-friendly. I am passionate about solving complex problems, collaborating with diverse teams, and learning new skills. I am also Adwords Search Certified, which demonstrates my ability to optimize the online presence and performance of my clients. My goal is to help tech companies increase their revenue by improving the user experience of their products.

Senior UI/UX Desiger

A lead designer once told me, “We don’t have time for UX research.”

I said, “Then you’ll make time for rework.”

Because that’s the tradeoff.

If you skip qualitative research, your next sprint will be filled with fixes.
If you skip quantitative research, your next decision will be based on vibes.

I’ve seen this mistakes with every single design team I’ve worked with. 

Zero exceptions. 
Myself included.

Here’s the cycle that works:

Qualitative → Design → Quantitative → Refine.
Talk → Build → Measure → Repeat.

Let me explain:

Qualitative research makes people care.
Quantitative research makes people act.

Together? They make decisions make sense

Through numbers, you measure behavior.
Through stories, you understand it.

My process allows me to:

1. Design with confidence, not assumptions
2. Balance empathy with research evidence
3. Build products users actually want

Every great product you admire was built this way.

Skip a step and you’ll build twice.

(Repost ♻️ if this hits home.)

P.S. Which step do you usually skip first talking or testing?

Senior UI/UX Product Designer | UX Strategy | Figma

I once told a junior designer:

“You are better than me.”

She froze.
Then shook her head.

But I meant it.

Her instincts fast.
Her ideas were fresh.
Her courage fearless.

We spend so much time chasing recognition that we forget how powerful respect can be.

Better designers don’t diminish you.
They define what’s next for you.

When you respect greatness without envy, you create room for your own.

Respect over recognition. Always.

P.S. Who’s one designer you quietly respect more than anyone else? Tag them.

If I could go back 10 years…

I wouldn’t change the tools I used.
I wouldn’t change my niche.
I wouldn’t change my style.

Instead?

I’d only change one thing.
I’d start designing badly… sooner.

Because every “ugly” design, every failed concept, every 3-hour layout that still looked wrong…all of it built the instinct I have now.

That instinct?
It’s why I can deliver a clean result in 20 minutes today.

The minutes are visible.
The decade is invisible.

And that’s the part that matters most.

Stop trying to be perfect.
Start trying to build your years.

Because once your decade is strong…
your 20-minute magic becomes inevitable.

(Repost if you wish you started earlier ♻️)

P.S. What’s the earliest design software you ever used?

I rarely write posts like this. (Please read.)

Because this one… hits deep.

There’s a quiet suffering in the design industry nobody talks about enough.

Designers with years of practice… still feeling invisible.
Designers with real talent… still apologizing for their prices.
Designers with serious skill… still losing work to “someone cheaper.”
Designers who give everything… still fighting imposter syndrome daily.
Designers with burning ambition… still wondering if they’ll ever be seen.

Let me keep this short:

If you’re a designer, feeling undervalued right now you’re not alone. 
Every good designer has been there.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth you’re also not alone. 
Every great designer questions themselves.

If you’re silently hurting because your talent isn’t seen please know: 
the world is full of clients who will see you.

The pain is real. But it is not permanent.

You’re building a career people don’t understand…
until they desperately need you.

Stick around. Your breakthrough is coming.

(Repost if someone needs this reminder ♻️)

P.S. Leave a comment not for engagement, but for solidarity.

Every designer eventually realizes this:

You don’t need more tools.
You don’t need more plugins.
You don’t need more fancy software.

You need a better eye.

And your eye is shaped by principles of design.
Not by features.

Once I understood that, everything changed:

• My work finally had rhythm
• Spacing started to make sense
• Visual decisions became intentional
• Layouts stopped feeling “accidental”

And suddenly… my work looked cleaner without adding anything new

The day I stopped chasing trends and started studying why designs work…
Was the day my growth finally clicked.

Your career changes the moment you stop decorating
and start designing with principles.

P.S. Did you have a moment when design suddenly started making sense?
