MarCommEd is proud to announce its registration as a Community Interest Company (CIC). This move signifies MarCommEd's dedication to serving a passionate community, on a mission to improve marketing and communications across schools, multi-academy trusts and other educational settings.
Like-minded marketing and communication professionals
A community which has been built over the last year, providing events, workshops and learning insights with the likes of Canva for Education, MarCommEd has brought together like-minded marketing and communication professionals - a network of storytellers, creatives, and digital gurus all helping schools, MATs and other education providers to improve the way they market themselves and communicate with stakeholders.
“We're thrilled to embark on this new chapter as a CIC,” said Zack Grimes, Co-Founder at MarCommEd and Director of Communications at the Laurus Trust.
“This structure shows our commitment to prioritising the needs of members and the education sector as a whole. By becoming a CIC, it will ensure that any financial gains are reinvested into developing valuable resources, events, and programs that empower education marketing and communication professionals.”
