Hello there, welcome to our August update!

This month we have a busy issue for you. With Greenhill School in TX, USA going live we see a sleek design that matches a school dedicated to preparing and inspiring students to live purposeful lives.

In the UK we've seen announcements of a new 20% VAT law on independent schools (Sorry US fam! No new tax obstacles for you this time...👍) leading us to explore the dynamic changes and implications this has with how schools operate as well as plan for the future. Emphasis on marketing is more important than ever! With resources stripped back, schools must invest in creativity and marketing to increase prospect engagement.
All that and more below.

So sit back, relax and read on.

Greenhill School Website Reimagined

Since 1950, Greenhill has been a leading independent, co-educational, nonsectarian institution dedicated to preparing students to lead authentic and purposeful lives.
Priding themselves on bringing together exceptional resources, incomparable people and enduring values - Greenhill needed a website transformation that reflected this commitment to excellence and we were more than happy to deliver.

Congratulations to Greenhill School on their new digital experience.

Uncertain times mean Marketers must stay Creative!

The need for a revamp on creativity within the educational sector is now more important than ever. With the new UK 20% tax law being announced and the upcoming USA elections, we can imagine the domino effect this will have on the way in which our schools can operate. Don't forget marketing is more important than ever! School marketers must find creative ways to maintain and grow prospect engagement.
