MULTI-ACADEMY TRUST (MAT) MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS
Many MATs come to us saying they’re struggling to obtain genuine ‘buy in’ from staff, parents and pupils to who they are and what they’re doing. Or, that they want a more unified ‘look and feel’ for their Trust and its member schools. Or, that they want to grow their MAT but don’t know what their offer to prospective schools is, or how to go about recruiting them. Whatever it is, it will be familiar to us and we will know how to help.
RESULTS-DRIVEN MARKETING
Marketing should work hard for your MAT by being aligned with your organisational goals and needs, and contribute heavily to them. It should not (we repeat not), operate in a silo and be a token department that make pretty posters. Yuk.
Our very first step in working with you and your MAT is to understand your goals. Our next, is to create tailored marketing and communications strategies that support your goals, achieve results and get you to success.

Stickman gave us clear guidance on how to market the Trust. Their approach of establishing a strong foundation and ‘less is more’, was brilliant. Delighted.
