SPEAK WITH US

In the (big) world of marketing agencies, those specializing in education are a rare breed. Cracking the code of education marketing isn't a walk in the park – it's a unique beast with its own set of challenges and intricacies


Unlike other products or services, independent school recruitment boasts a significantly longer conversion cycle. Why? Because choosing a school for their child isn't just another purchase for parents – it's perhaps one of the most significant decisions in their lives. With factors like the reputation of the school, program offerings, location, and school culture, not to mention the emotional and psychological impact on their child, parents have a lot on their plate. This complexity means that traditional marketing tactics often fall short, requiring more sophisticated solutions to capture and retain prospective parents' attention.


Parents go through a myriad of emotions when making this decision, and it is crucial to have a marketing strategy that prioritizes, recognizes, and appreciates the emotional decision-making cycle that parents experience.
