We’ve SMASHED our marketing targets.

And changed the shape of education in Hull.

With UTCs still being a new alternative to traditional education and with no building, no staff and no proven track record, we needed an innovative marketing campaign that captured the imaginations of students and parents….#GetTheEdge was born.

The Ron Dearing UTC in Hull is now 33% oversubscribed. But it didn’t stop there. Our application target was EXCEEDED leading to a DfE application to increase the first-year intake, it generated 1501% ROI (for every £1 spent on recruitment, £15 was generated), resulting in 113% over the original application target.

The marketing campaign helped to generate nearly £1MILLION in fees in 12 months. WOW.

A stand out digital strategy. Unbelievable open events. High profile PR.

• Event Management expertise – our open events were 44% over target

• A dynamic student recruitment strategy leveraging digital – inc. geo-targeting through Google, SEO and Facebook

• In four weeks the website received a whopping 9,463 views with 66.74% of all traffic on the open event sign up page
