“A good strategy, mission or vision is a start. But every communication has to lift those words off paper and into people’s imaginations. Frameworks get you so far; but those daily communication habits are where you bring your brand alive.”
Pre-conference: The Brand Strategy Audit
What makes your school truly distinctive? It’s not your facilities. Not your results. Not even your alumni. It’s the way you tell your story — and the story your community tells back.
In this one-day workshop, we bring together Heads, Deputy Heads, Communications, Marketing and Admissions teams to tackle a crucial challenge: how to develop a shared language that captures what your school offers families — not just in theory, but in practice.
