The Digital Marketing & Admissions Conferences 2013-2014 are unmissable one-day and two-day learning and networking events in London UK, organised by CLICK-RECRUIT-ENROL, a trading name for OMTAC Ltd.
> ABOUT CLICK-RECRUIT-ENROL (CRE)
Since the 1990s we have seen Schools, Colleges, Universities and other learning and training organisations move from a reliance on ‘traditional’ offline Education marketing and admissions to invest in a web presence, email and online channels and platforms for pupil/student recruitment, PR and communications.
Most institutions and training organisations have struggled to keep up with the speed of change, especially with social media, multimedia and mobile. Until recently many have failed to recognise and embrace the opportunity.
We believe the ‘balance of power’ is (at last) shifting from offline, traditional methods of pupil/student recruitment to online.
The majority of Schools, Colleges and Universities are now investing more decisively in digital marketing, communications and admissions.
In response OMTAC Ltd has launched ‘Click-Recruit-Enrol’ (CRE), building on over 10 years experience providing training and support services to learning and training institutions and organisations in Digital Marketing, Admissions and Alumni Relations online.
Click-Recruit-Enrol (CRE) will run conferences and training events to help meet the growing need for inexpensive, high quality insight, best practice and benchmarking in digital marketing, communications and admissions for the Education sector.
CRE will seek to serve all types of educational institution and organisation in the UK and across Europe, including:
- Early Years (Pre-School) Nurseries, Kindergartens and Pre-Prep;
- Primary, Middle (Junior) and Preparatory Schools;
- Secondary and High Schools;
- Sixth Form Schools and Colleges;
- Colleges of Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE);
- Universities (Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Online);
- Online Learning;
- Language Schools & Colleges;
- Outdoor Education Centres;
- Adult Education Providers;
- Other organisations offering learning, training and development in the UK, Europe and worldwide.
To inform and attract participants to seminars, conferences and other events, CRE will target over 10000 institutions and learning organisations around the UK and Europe, with individualised online and offline marketing campaigns.
Initial communications activity in May 2013 has already targeted over 1500 institutions, drawing representatives from 120 Schools, Colleges and Universities to a launch event at Central Hall Westminster in June 2013 to hear speakers from Google, Facebook, The Student Room, Mumsnet, Hootsuite, BBC Worldwide and Merlin Entertainments.
Future conferences will build on this success, attracting high quality speakers and representatives from across the education sector.
Those attending CRE events will be key decision makers with access to significant budgets, including those in roles related to:
- Leadership (Headteachers, Principals, CEOs, Senior Management, Governors),
- Marketing and Public Relations (Central and/or Departmental),
- Pupil and Student Recruitment,
- Admissions, Registration and Enrolment,
- International Pupil and Student Recruitment and/or Boarding/Residential,
- Institution Finance/Business Management, Development and Fundraising.
