Student Recruitment Strategy & Higher Education Marketing

A video that offers an accurate, authentic picture of what university or college life is like is a highly marketable and valuable tool for any Higher Education marketing campaign, so identifying a creative approach that encapsulates the culture, energy and diversity of your institute is key to a successful and engaging student recruitment strategy.

Video content for your student recruitment strategy and Higher Education marketing campaigns

Slate and Mortar is a specialist Higher Education video production company with vast experience in creating effective, award-winning content that is designed specifically to enhance a university’s student recruitment marketing strategy. Whether it’s working specifically with departmental teams to create a suite of videos for the UG or PG recruitment market; or working on large-scale TV, cinema & online campaigns, we understand higher education marketing and how vital it is that it connects to your audience.

And quite simply, it’s our bread and butter.

The needs and objectives of each of our clients vary, but through our experience and understanding of the recruitment cycle and digital marketing within higher education, we’re able to understand your objectives and ensure that the processes and final output is smooth, positive, highly creative and effective. From the outset, we’ll work with you to ensure that the university’s overall ‘distinctiveness’ and brand values are clearly represented so that your target audience fully understands and responds to the ‘offer’ or ‘call-to-action’.

Our detailed knowledge of Higher Education marketing strategy means that we add significant value to all film and video projects that we work on. As an education marketing agency we understand that content needs to sit across a variety of channels and platforms, so once a video is signed off, we’ll get the film ready for digital distribution and provide you with a suite of high resolution, social-media friendly files, all at no additional cost.

It’s essential that the student recruitment videos we create for you are not only engaging, creative and produced with high production values, but that they convey the precise information that is important to your audience, wherever they may be on the recruitment cycle.

Video and animation is a great way to tell potential students what life at your institute can offer; student experience, campus life, teaching quality, resources… the list goes on. Through powerful stories, video endorses and highlights your best practise. It communicates, empowers and engages. Simply put, there’s no better tool for engaging with your prospective students and showcasing what your institute is all about.
