We bring together well over 1000 companies and academic institutions interested in marketing to schools, colleges, teachers and parents. We are primarily interested in the UK - but contributions from all over the world are welcome.
News related to education marketing in the UK is posted regularly by the moderator, and questions and thoughts are posted by members.
