✂️ Cutting through the noise: Selling and Marketing to schools in 2024

✂️ Cutting through the noise: Selling and Marketing to schools in 2024

The landscape for educational resources and edtech has changed drastically in the last few years.

With tightening budgets, academisation, and an influx of new products getting yourself seen and heard is harder than ever before.

 

Which is why we think you might be interested in this FREE webinar.

 

This 60 min session will draw on the expertise of Alicia from BlueCow and Bryan from Bee Digital who will present practical marketing insights, strategies, and tactics, sharing experiences from the many clients they work with, from start ups to large multinational companies.

 

And, as an added bonus, Simon Blower from Pobble has generously agreed to share his experiences as a Founder of one of the most recognised brands in the education Sector.

🗓️ Wednesday July 31st 2024

⏰ 9:30am-10:30am

Marketing to schools is
🤬 bloody tough 🤬
right now

Back in the day you could blast a few cold email lists, post out some brochures, or meet eager teachers at trade shows.

But in 2024 maybe you’re finding the usual strategies don’t work.


Teachers are now flooded with product offers, logins, free trials, Zoom demos, and a million other things.


And even in-person events, while still popular, see schools struggling to justify the travel costs.


Plus there’s lots of fresh new edtech products and services coming out every year, all eager to sell, sell, sell.


And that means everyone who sells to the education market is up against it.


So how can you possibly compete?

Don't blend in,
stand out 🤪

Your webinar hosts have worked with hundreds of education companies and thousands of schools.

They work with winning edtech and education brands that are refreshing their marketing strategies, seeking new ways to approach teachers, and being brave enough to re-think their brand.

 

You know there’s no silver bullet but companies that know how to tell stories that appeal to schools get them noticed, trusted, and bought from.

 

And this webinar will share some key tactics that will help you unlock your story and get that marketing strategy singing once more.
