Testimonials

“I have been hugely impressed by Steve’s vision, focus and clear thinking. He is creative, keen to involve others in the process of marketing the school, and is a superb man-manager, getting the best out of people as a result.

It took him no time at all to ‘get under the skin’ of the school, and to find out what the real issues are. He has adopted an imaginative approach to dealing with these issues, and has developed a widely endorsed and enthusiastically received marketing strategy.

Above all, he is a wise counsellor and good colleague and friend. A breath of fresh air in the Common Room.”

“We have been delighted with the way in which Steve has worked with us at Twynham. His knowledge of the commerial world and the sensitive and sympathetic way in which he has listened to our needs has been like a breath of fresh air. We have moved forward very considerably in a short space of time and Steve’s insightful ideas and excellent analysing and synthsising skills have enabled this to happen. He has really helped us to see our own strengths and where we needed to be sharper. He enabled us to see the way forward with clarity and we are now reaping the benefits.”

“Steve King’s work with my school has been inspirational. His company has not only produced excellent promotional products for us, with superb efficiency, but Steve himself has been heavily involved with our strategic planning. His insight has been an invaluable addition to our self evaluation and planning. Initially work has focussed on 6th Form development and we are now looking to work with Steve’s team on a whole school marketing strategy.”

“Steve King brought energy, insight and flair to the marketing, PR and admissions tasks at Moorlands College. During his time the profile of the College rose markedly and student intake figures increased substantially.”

“I want to thank you for all your sterling efforts on CWR’s behalf this year. Your contributions to our PR activity, especially the launches of Selwyn’s ‘My Story’ and Jeff Lucas’ ‘LOLED’ notes, were first-class. I have had nothing but favourable comments on your ability to pick up the nuances of our products, courses and general activity. Carol and Pete, I know, have been ecstatic about your draft book reviews which, with very few changes, have been issued and gained us more review space in publications than ever before.”

“Steve has worked with us for the last 15 months, and the contribution he has made to our business development has been significant. He has a strong knowledge of the education environment and market and has helped us develop strategies to attract a greater share of that market. In particular his work on transforming our website, prospectus and marketing approach have delivered a significantly enhanced profile for the College.”

“Steve first worked with us on carrying out an audit of the school’s position in the local market place and our marketing strategy and practice. In carrying out the audit, I was impressed by Steve’s ability to very quickly pick up on what made St Andrew’s School special – and different from its competitors-and, having done so, he wrote a detailed and wide ranging report, which demonstrated his understanding of the school and gave helpful indicators for future thinking.

Since then, Steve has contributed to work with the school: revising the style and layout of adverts, sampling parental opinion and, latterly, in helping to shape the PR work surrounding the change of Head.”
