The University is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified agency to undertake the provision of effective digital marketing services. The agency will be required to deliver a cycle of advertising campaigns based on an event-led strategy. The primary goals of these campaigns will be to drive bookings to Open Days and to drive applications at key points in the academic cycle. These are the main activities around which we have promoted the institution.

We are seeking a more clearly defined, contracted and time-specific partnership with a digital agency: one that first and foremost continues to enhance our approach to digital marketing for conventional undergraduate student recruitment, but can also support us to use digital advertising creatively and effectively as we grow and diversify.

The University recognises that digital advertising is now a cornerstone of the marketing mix that institutions adopt to reach their target audiences, principally still for traditional UG and PG student recruitment, but also increasingly as universities diversify their portfolio of courses and activities.

We are seeking a more clearly defined, contracted and time-specific partnership with a digital agency: one that first and foremost continues to enhance our approach to digital marketing for conventional undergraduate student recruitment, but can also support us to use digital advertising creatively and effectively as we diversify into new markets (such as postgraduate, distance learning and continuing professional development) and as we seek to enhance our wider reputation.
