Press Release: Whitney Larimer Joins Digital Agency Mighty Citizen to Lead Strategic Focus on Higher Education

AUSTIN, TX — February, 28, 2024 — With a rich background deeply rooted in the education sector, Larimer’s hiring is in line with Mighty Citizen’s commitment to optimizing and enhancing how institutions engage with today’s students.

Whitney Larimer joins Mighty Citizen with an impressive 19 years of experience consulting with higher education institutions. Her lifelong passion for education has fueled a career dedicated to advancing student achievement and helping colleges make deep connections with their audiences. With a comprehensive portfolio of higher education consulting, Larimer is poised to bring her experience and innovative strategies to Mighty Citizen’s higher education initiatives.

“Mighty Citizen has always been at the forefront of advancing higher education through digital transformation,” said Nick Weynand, Founder & CEO of Mighty Citizen. “Whitney’s unparalleled expertise in higher education consulting makes her the perfect fit to lead our efforts in this area. Her insight and strategic vision will be invaluable as we look to forge stronger, more impactful partnerships with colleges and universities.”

Larimer’s arrival comes at a pivotal time for Mighty Citizen, as the agency seeks to expand its work within the higher education market.

Focusing on delivering data-driven and student-centered solutions, Mighty Citizen is well-positioned to support institutions in navigating the evolving challenges of student engagement.

Reflecting on her new role, Whitney Larimer shared, “Higher education has the profound ability to shape lives and communities. I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of effective college-student connections. Joining Mighty Citizen represents a unique opportunity to amplify this impact, leveraging the agency’s expertise to foster deeper, more meaningful partnerships between higher education institutions and their students. I’m thrilled to be part of a team that’s as passionate about making a difference as I am.”
