Open Day advice, finding who matters to your school, school radio advertising explored, plus training, jobs and much more...
October Newsletter
  Dear Simon,

It's the busiest time of year again for school marketers - Open Days and school visits are in full flow. To help you through this period we've updated our ever-popular advice article on Open Days, as well as researching the new trend for schools to support events by advertising on local radio.  

It was however great to see so many school marketers taking time out to learn from each other at the isbi Marketing and Admissions Conference last month. If you missed it you can scroll down and click to see my reflections on the event as well as a vodcast that covers one of my presentations - 'how to identify the key stakeholders in your school'. If you'd like to suggest a topic for (or be involved in) a future vodcast, please reply to this email. 

Best wishes
Simon Hepburn
