Strategic Marketing and Communications Masterclass

 The programme includes two sessions:

Part 1 – The Business Case, Branding Culture and Identity.

Exploring and defining the costs and benefits associated with school marketing and communications. This initial session quantifies marketing activities and associated benefits - such as increased income and improved quality of staff recruitment - and sets out a way of creating a marketing and communications team to achieve this. The next step is to create an identifiable brand and an identity that can be articulated and understood by all stakeholders. You will also explore ways of embedding an effective and positive culture within your people and overcome resistance to change.

Part 2 – Stakeholders, reputation management, innovation and income generation.

Following on from part 1, this section deals with the implementation of marketing and communications programmes. Using management tools to identify our stakeholder groups (such as parents, current and future staff and the local community) and to understand how best to communicate with them. Ensuring our thinking considers all aspects of reputational management and how we can use innovations in technology to reach our audiences. We shall begin to consider how effective marketing can have a positive influence on our ability to generate income from a range of sources, including sponsorships and commercial partnerships.    

The session is delivered via two 1 hour webinars that can be downloaded and viewed on demand. Alternatively if you would like to receive this training in-house in your school or trust then email training@isbl.org.uk and we can arrange for our experts to deliver this session face to face and quote you a bespoke price.

The session is delivered as two 1 hour webinars that you can watch in your own time and at your own pace.
