Date: February 1, 2024
Calling all Marketing and Communications Professionals!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of MarCommEd, a groundbreaking members group specifically designed for marketing and communications professionals who work with schools and multi-academy trusts. In this blog post, we will discuss the rise of this discipline within the challenging landscape of UK education, the significant role our members play in ensuring the sustainability and success of schools, and express our gratitude to our initial supporters and sponsors Canva and Eduprise. So, let's dive in!
The Rise of MarCommEd: Navigating Challenging Times in UK Education
The field of marketing and communications within the education sector has witnessed exponential growth in recent years. Education institutions, such as schools and multi-academy trusts, face an array of unique challenges due to changing demographics and economic factors. The decline in birth rates across the UK, combined with a significant number of teachers leaving the profession, has placed tremendous pressure on schools to ensure they have enough pupils and staff to operate efficiently and financially.
This challenging environment has led to a growing recognition of the vital role marketing and communications professionals play in helping schools navigate these difficult times. At MarCommEd, we’re bringing together a community of dedicated professionals who possess the expertise, knowledge, and passion to drive positive change in the education sector. Our members work collaboratively to share expertise and collaborate on innovative solutions that ensure schools have the necessary resources to thrive.
Empowering Schools: Increasing Admissions and Recruiting Staff
At MarCommEd, our members take on the critical responsibility of increasing school admissions and recruiting staff in the face of a declining birth rate and the departure of talented educators. Through strategic marketing initiatives, targeted outreach campaigns, and compelling communication strategies, our professionals actively contribute to the growth and sustainability of schools across the UK.
We believe that every child deserves a quality education, and by increasing admissions, we strive to create more opportunities for young minds to flourish. Additionally, our commitment to recruiting staff ensures that schools have the talented educators they need to provide an outstanding learning experience for their students.
Gratitude to Our Initial Supporters: Canva and Eduprise
As we embark on this exciting journey, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our initial supporters and sponsors, Canva and Eduprise.
