Creating distinctive brands for international schools: a free roundtable workshop

  • Online, Worldwide (map)

How distinctive is your school brand? And how well do you communicate it? In this roundtable workshop we will discuss how to define your brand proposition and communicate it effectively.


What makes your school different from the next “international”, “innovative”, “diverse” school with “state-of-the-art facilities”? 

Sometimes it can be hard for international schools to truly differentiate themselves to attract the right pupils, parents and families. And even if you know your USPs, how can you ensure you’re providing the right information in an engaging way that will generate action, enquiries, applications and support? 

In this lunch-and-learn style session, you’ll come together with senior-level peers to discuss these questions. 

We will bring insights from our previous work with schools such as United World Colleges, Nord Anglia Education, Zurich International School, and ICS Zurich, to talk about how to create clarity around your school brand and messaging, and communicate it effectively. 

Please be prepared to discuss your school’s vision and values with colleagues.

What we will cover

  • Defining your brand

  • Engaging internal stakeholders 

  • Gathering and using audience insights 

  • Developing your visual identity

  • Communicating effectively

  • Your questions, challenges and concerns
