Jaime Hunt

Jaime Hunt is the founder and president of Solve Consulting, a boutique consulting agency specializing in helping colleges, universities, and higher education associations tackle their most pressing marketing and communications challenges.

Hunt’s career journey started in 1997 in print journalism before she jumped into higher education marketing in 2004. Since then, she’s worn all the hats: media relations leader, branding strategist, digital storyteller, crisis communicator, enrollment marketer, public affairs pro, and public radio manager. She spent the last decade of her career as a vice president and chief marketing officer at three institutions: Old Dominion University, Miami University, and Winston-Salem State University. Before that, she sharpened her skills in leadership roles at Radford University, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and Northwestern Health Sciences University.

A natural-born collaborator, Hunt has been a highly visible leader in the higher education marketing world, serving on boards and volunteering for organizations like the American Marketing Association, the Public Relations Society of America, and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. She’s also a sought-after speaker at conferences worldwide and has racked up more than 40 industry awards.

Hunt holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Minnesota and a master’s degree in integrated marketing communications from West Virginia University. She’s also a proud alumna of the Arizona State and Georgetown University Academy for Innovative Higher Education Leadership and earned a certificate in disruptive strategy with Clayton Christensen from Harvard Business School Online.

When she’s not talking strategy, branding, or storytelling, you’ll find Hunt soaking up coastal Virginia life with her husband and a surprisingly social tortoise. Her happy place is on a boat.
