A Gathering of Minds

MarCommEd Live: A Gathering of School Marketing and Communication Minds

Date: March 20, 2024

This March, we held the first-ever MarCommEd event in London! It was a fantastic day filled with energy, curiosity, and a great sense of community.

The event wasn't just about listening to speakers - attendees were actively involved. They asked insightful questions and shared their own stories and experiences. One attendee, Mark Smith from The Mercian Trust, made a great point: the impact of not having a strong marketing and communications team can take years to show.

Everyone's participation made the event informative and engaging. We learned a lot from each other, and it was clear we all share a passion for improving education through marketing and communication.

A Big Thank You!

Looking Ahead

We're excited to announce more events in the future, including in-person gatherings and online talks. We're also working with Matt Jordan from Canva to offer training sessions on how schools and trusts can use digital tools more effectively.

We want to hear from you! Your feedback will help us plan future events and content that best meets your needs. This is a journey we're taking together, all with the goal of learning and growing.

Highlights and Why This Matters

The atmosphere at the event was special. It was a chance for marketing and communication professionals in schools to connect, share ideas, and learn from each other. Everyone felt comfortable contributing, which led to a great exchange of knowledge.

Organizing this event took a lot of work, but seeing the positive impact it had made it all worthwhile. These gatherings are important for building a strong community.

Thank You and What's Next

A huge thank you to everyone who participated! Your energy and insights are what make this community strong.

Let's keep the momentum going! We'll keep you updated on future events and ways to get involved.

Here's to a future filled with learning, growth, and collaboration! Together, we can make a real difference in education marketing and communication.
