Who is Boxcar Digital?

Boxcar Digital is an enrollment marketing agency built for the next generation of students. We help colleges understand who they want to reach, tell a story that matters to those students, and make the journey from discovery to enrollment easier to navigate.

Do we have to replace our existing agency or admissions systems?

No. We often work with existing admissions teams, websites and CRM tools. The right arrangement depends on the institution and what it needs.

What services does Boxcar Digital offer?

Enrollment strategy, paid media, creative and content, websites and program pages, AI discovery and analytics, all focused on recruiting students.

When will Gen Alpha start applying to college?

Gen Alpha started in 2010, making the high school class of 2028 the first Gen Alpha applicants. They can apply through the Common App starting August 1, 2027, and arrive on campus in fall 2028. We’re preparing for them while continuing to reach today’s students.

What makes Boxcar different?

Boxcar Digital focuses on college enrollment marketing, with a particular interest in the first generation growing up alongside AI. We combine creative, paid media, websites and analytics, and we like being close enough to the work to understand what actually happens after a student raises a hand.

Partnering with the people who drive enrollment

What are students comparing? Which courses fill quickly? When does someone lose interest? What does an admissions counselor hear on the phone? The answers help us make better work.

Get Connected

Easy to work with, serious about the work.

How we work

The best work happens when creative and admissions teams are working from the same plan.

We understand admissions calendars, internal approvals and the realities of working on campus.

We bring the ideas and analysis, then work closely with the people who know students best.

Good creative helps people imagine their future

A strong program story can help someone see a path they hadn’t considered before.
