WHY WE OFFER A ONE DAY ADVANCED SEMINAR ON ‘EXCEEDING ADMISSIONS TARGETS WITH DIGITAL MARKETING, PR AND ADVERTISING ONLINE’

We have been delivering introductory training and consultancy and organised and presented at workshops, seminars and conferences for over 10 years on how Schools, Colleges and Universities can use digital communications, channels and platforms to more effectively engage and recruit prospective Pupils, Students and Parents (and others such as Opinion Leaders/Advisers (Feeder Schools, Family including Grandparents, Education Agents, Relocation Consultants etc), Staff, Suppliers etc).

Now that many Institutions have established a Web presence and are using Social Networks, Micro-blogging, Email etc, we feel it is timely to offer more advanced training and support.

We appreciate that your time is short and resources have to be allocated with care for maximum positive impact.

In a rapidly evolving ‘digital world’, with a busy day-to-day schedule, it is not easy for Education Marketing, PR & Admissions professionals and Senior Management at Schools, Colleges and Universities etc to learn how:

• to use digital communications more effectively,
• to tweak and improve their existing presence on platforms and channels,
• to move the advertising budget online to use Online Advertising for more cost-effective targeted advertising,
• to develop Social Media policies,
• to optimise and improve events like Open Days,
• to strategically plan and integrate online and offline activity etc etc.

With up to 95% of pupils and students using the Internet, social networks, email, IM and SMS, and with increasing numbers of parents also utilising online channels in their business and personal lives, there is now tremendous opportunity for Student Admissions Officers & Registrars, Marketing & PR Communications Managers, Development Directors and Senior Management in Education to put budgets to more effective use with significantly more targeted advertising and promotional activity that can be tracked, analysed and assessed on a daily, hourly and even minute by minute basis for impact and ultimately for return on investment.

We have therefore developed this 1-day Advanced Seminar to provide an intensive, highly productive ‘time out’ – giving you the opportunity to review your current activity and to identify ways to improve your Education Marketing, PR & Advertising online, drawing on relevant case studies, benchmarking and sharing ideas with other professionals.

We have kept the ‘Exceeding Admissions Targets with Digital Marketing, PR and Advertising Online’ Advanced Seminar price as low as possible, we are limiting the number of people attending each Advanced Seminar to encourage interaction, and we are offering a choice of themes to ensure the Training Seminar is as relevant as possible.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE ADVANCED SEMINAR?

The ‘Exceeding Admissions Targets with Digital Marketing, PR and Advertising Online’ Advanced Seminar has been designed for those with responsibility for admissions, promotions, marketing and PR within Schools, Colleges and Universities.

The Advanced Seminar should be of considerable benefit to anyone who have previously attended the Introductory 1-day Education Marketing & PR Online Seminar or who are confidently using the Web, Social Networks, Email etc and have an established presence on various channels and platforms for promoting their Institution to students at home and abroad.

The Advanced Seminar is much less about “How to set-up…” than “How to use effectively…” It is about how to utilise channels and platforms to achieve the best possible return on investment, what works best, how to integrate on and offline efforts, how to work and plan strategically etc.

Those attending normally include:

• School, College and University Marketing & PR Managers
• Admissions Officers and Admissions Registrars
• Student Recruitment Directors
• International Marketing Managers and Directors for Schools, Colleges or Universities
• Development Officers / Managers and Development Directors
• Senior School/College/University Management
• Head Teachers and Principals

Multiple bookings are welcome – School, College and University Marketing & PR and/or Senior Management teams may also find attendance as a group helpful as an “away day” focusing on re-designing their marketing plan to fully embrace the potential for digital channels, platforms and technologies.
