Featured in a Sydney CEO publication
In the early years of school marketing Bryan Foster featured in 'Super Marketing Your School', by Ted Myers, Head of Promotions and Publications at Sydney Catholic Education Office in New South Wales, in 1996. This case study highlighted the progress, at Bryan's school, Aquinas College, Southport, Australia, of their school marketing plan and successes.
From spectacular beginnings Bryan developed the highly successful school marketing plans, strategies and methods for today's world.
Topics covered by Ted Myers about his marketing experience at Aquinas included: Building Relaionships with the Media, Promotional Philosophy and Key Promotional Strategies. At that time the key strategies were: Developing a close working relationship with the media; Developing stronger feeder school releationships; Professionally-produced publications and Co-operating with other Catholic schools. (Still crucial strategies in 2009.)
Developing these strategies and more for the school marketing world of today is a primary aim for Bryan Foster. His school marketing manuals... explain these in easy to read, step-by-step procedures.
