EDUCATION MARKETING CONSULTANCY

Marketing is an area where vast amounts of money, time and energy can be wasted. Since schools are usually short of all three, as an established education marketing consultancy, we at Stickman like to ensure our services are goal-driven, revenue-generating and drive genuine benefit.

This is a framework we use in all of our work with schools and MATs. It’s all about getting a firm foundation in place as this will turbocharge your marketing activities and ensure they work really (really) hard for your school (it’s a bit like the foundations of a house…without them, the house would be useless and would topple over).
