What if the secret to attracting more students lies in the collaboration between Students' Unions and university marketing teams? In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked partnership that can transform the way Higher Education institutions engage with prospective students.
Students' Unions: the perfect way to highlight campus life
We speak with Fay Harris, Deputy CEO of Membership Services at Keele University Students’ Union, and Ian Pain, Director & Co-Founder of The Crowd Agency. Together, they unpack the complex relationship between Students' Unions and universities, and ways they can work together more effectively.
Students' Unions are an invaluable resource for showing the real life of students on campus, and marketers can tap into that to build trust with prospective students during open days. We also look at how marketers can highlight events and societies to enhance the student experience in marketing materials and drive student numbers.
