About the team

We’re the people who promote the University to prospective students and their influencers. Using our understanding of the decision-making process, we create innovative marketing communications packed with targeted information.

Our team works in partnership with departments and central services to reinforce the distinctiveness of the Leeds experience and raise its profile amongst the target audience. This encourages high quality applications and helps us attract the best students.

We can advise on marketing communications and produce a wide range of marketing and promotional materials. Whatever the channel, we work to ensure that every student receives a lasting, positive experience of Leeds.

We work closely with the student recruitment team.

Events

We organise a lot of events to attract new students, the largest being the three University-wide open days.

Our open days are a great way to show prospective students the exciting opportunities that the University can offer and give them a taste of life in Leeds. Students can meet with staff and tour the facilities, as well as finding out about the wide range of courses available at Leeds – and we make sure it all runs smoothly.

These open days play a vital part in students’ decisions to come to Leeds, and we organise everything from coaches and information packs, to timetabling for hundreds of talks and tours. We can advise you on how to make the most of these events, as well as helping with your departmental open days.

Publications

We create over 160 publications every year; researching content, writing copy and designing a professional product. Our publications range from course brochures and direct mail, to newsletters and websites. In fact, we produce most of the information that new students will read.

A prominent example of our work is the undergraduate prospectus, which we design, edit and publish. Like our other publications, it is a major tool in attracting students to the University. If you need help with student-facing publications, contact us.

Campaigns

When faculties and departments need to target a group of potential students, they come to us for help. We regularly advise on developing student recruitment campaigns, often creating the marketing materials ourselves.

We’re a versatile team full of expertise in design, copywriting and project management. We can bring these factors together to deliver a comprehensive campaign including websites, brochures, videos, direct mail – if you can think of it, we’ve probably done it. Contact us to discuss how we can help you.
