EFMD Annual Conference 2014: Breakout sessions-B1 – Marketing of Business Schools in a Digital World

At the EFMD Annual Conference, Andrew Crisp, Director of CarringtonCrisp and Tracey Horn, Head of Communications and Marketing at Cambridge Judge Business School, gave an excellent session on the various opportunities that digital marketing can offer to the promotion of business schools. Andrew began his talk stating that digital marketing gives school the chance to do more personal marketing. Just one advertisement can have hundreds of variations and be tweaked according to the response. It’s a completely different mind-set from having a single advert in one newspaper for one day. With personalisation also comes the need to differentiate, as well as to say something different from all the other business schools vying for a student’s attention and attendance.
