How an integrated marketing approach is best for schools
“Integrated marketing” is used to generate a unified and seamless experience for consumers to interact with schools. It combines all aspects of marketing communication such as advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing, and social media and it is one of the most important tools your school can have to grow and have its voice heard. Integrated marketing ensures your school communicates its message effectively across all marketing channels and not following this approach will result in an often inconsistent and disorganised message.
Print work with Schools
MAXX has worked with some of the most exceptional independent schools in the UK, including Westminster, Cheam, Marlborough College, Eagle House and Eton to name a few. We have designed printed prospectuses, updated school branding and developed complete social media campaigns. We carefully plan, and art direct, photography shoots over several days and art direct to capture unique images that showcase the energetic environments of boarding houses, facilities and grounds.
Our design work doesn’t stop with prospectuses and brochures. We create folders to hold all materials, produce mailers and other printed materials to provide a full integrated marketing delivery for our clients.
Digital Communications work with Schools
As well as designing beautiful printed work for schools, MAXX also enhances the digital communications and marketing for some of the UK’s leading independent schools.
We create strategy documents which help and guide internal marketing teams, ultimately making their marketing communications more aligned. This often leads to managing digital campaigns on Google Ads and social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. We have created targeted campaigns with specific goals, such as increasing open day visitors, as well as general ‘brand awareness’ campaigns which run throughout the school year.
Furthermore, MAXX reports back on a client’s digital activity through our custom dashboards which track website performance as well as PPC, SEO, social media and email marketing activity. Our comprehensive insight reports offer valuable recommendations to further enhance a school’s digital presence.
