Video testimonials

These are so much fun! I’m willing to bet you have so many people in your community who love to talk about school.

  • Pupils who run into school every morning
  • Parents who rave about your school at every opportunity (you know who I’m thinking of)
  • Teachers who find school is their happy place
  • Even your alumni who still talk about you

In a post-Covid world your audience craves authentic goosebump-messages without the need for a Hollywood style production. We use specialist technology to capture the recordings in the best possible quality, optimising their audio too without the need for a recording studio. And we coach the guests through how to present the right message.

It’s easy, it’s effective and it doesn’t break the marketing budget either.

💬
“I absolutely love these - the interviews are fab and the finish is so much better than I was hoping for - in fact you hardly know they are online interviews. There is so much great content, I’m really chuffed with the breadth and variation of each conversation 😀”

Podcasts for school marketing

Increasing numbers of parents are listening to podcasts in 2025, in particular the younger generation who are also looking for a school to send their children. Since launching the business in 2021 we’ve recorded over 1,000 podcast episodes.

01. Start here

When schools are thinking of having a podcast to help with student recruitment there are usually so many questions. It’s easier than you might imagine though.

02. How to record?!

It’s a common question. We’ve all seen Steven Bartlett’s ‘Diary of a CEO’ podcast with multiple cameras. It really doesn’t need to be this complicated though.

03. So what do you actually need?

Here’s the great news, you really don’t need much. In fact just £70 is all you need for equipment. No studio required, no sound-proofing, just a small microphone.

Typically school marketing podcasts look at the following pattern for their first five episodes:
  1. A conversation with the Head (what are they really like?)
  2. Three pupils on Year 7 life (was it as scary as they thought?)
  3. Two parents on the Admissions process (valuable for prospectives)
  4. Two alumni on how the school prepared them for life
  5. An enthusiastic member of staff on why they love working at the school

Training - Photography, video and podcasting

We don’t like to be greedy and hold on to these skills we’ve acquired working with schools. Just choose any of the courses below to be taken to the dedicated page with oodles more detail. If you buy the course for your school then everyone in your school has access to it. One payment, many users. This even applies for School Groups (with a slightly higher price).

💬
“These are great courses for anyone looking to learn more about photography and editing, not just in relation to Schools.”

School marketing videos

We love creating video content for school marketing! Whether that’s a ‘Meet the Head’ video, a ‘Day in the Life’, or our most popular option, ‘8 mini videos for your website’. Video projects are typically in the £3995 arena which makes the last option very appealing for schools looking for value-for-money.

icon
The most exciting thing about video for school marketing is seeing just how much content we can create for your school with just one or two days in school. See above for examples of our ‘8 mini videos’ service or click here to visit the page that’s all about school marketing videos.

The reason these are so popular in 2025 is mostly for the value-for-money they provide. One day in your school will be a non-stop busy day. But it enables 8 short videos to be created afterwards that can be used for anything from explaining the Admissions process to Staff recruitment, parent testimonials, Sixth-form life, Sport, STEM or whatever you need.

Pricing is typically £3995 for all eight videos, unlimited edits, nothing extra for the music we add, for travel, accommodation or anything.

💬
“Thank you so much, Simon! We absolutely love the video and can’t wait to show it to our families today. Harriet is so excited to see it! Thank you for all your hard work.”

📸 School marketing photography

School marketing photography is where my business started back in 2012. I was a Marketing Manager myself, my children were young and given that I was spending my weekends taking photos of everything it didn’t take long before a school approached me to help them with their marketing photography.

A day in your school taking photos is immense fun! You’ll need trainers as we dash around school capturing beautiful images for your website, prospectus and social media. Give me 10-15 minutes per location and I’ll provide the beautiful images (slightly longer for Sport in case they’re still getting changed).

The day will usually produce around 300 photos, all edited in Adobe Lightroom and delivered to you in full resolution with no watermarks or licence restrictions within a few days of the shoot.

💬
“The photos look amazing, especially considering the weather you were working in - well done you!! Thank you so much for all your hard work - I always love working with you and it amazes me how you keep up your energy all day.”
