Marcomms Success

HE Success Suite

Enhance your marketing communications by focusing on what impacts choice.

Marcomms Success was initially conceived as a way of discovering what the future held for the printed prospectus in the digital age, but it quickly grew into a comprehensive study of all HE marketing communications, uncovering the usage, influence and information needs across both the undergraduate and postgraduate markets.

Our approach

Marcomms Success reveals the usage, influence and information needs of students across key touchpoints on the decision-making timeline and how marketing communication impacts choice.
