Recruitment & Employer Branding 

Ads & Campaigns

Three Languages. One Brand.

For Inspired Education Group, I developed copy for three print advertising campaigns promoting different schools across Italy, Spain and the UK. Published on Trenitalia trains, in El País and in Tatler, each campaign featured distinct messaging tailored to the school's identity, target audience and local market, with the aim of attracting prospective families and supporting student enrolment.

Enrolment & Summer Camps

A few examples of video content I created for Inspired Education Group schools, promoting enrolment and summer camps. The aim was simple: make each school’s offering feel exciting, relevant and worth finding out more about, while keeping the messaging true to the individual school. These are just a few examples from a wider body of content created for schools across the Inspired network.

Christmas Campaign 

Royal College of Music 

A social media campaign introducing Pathways to Performance, an exclusive music programme created in partnership with the Royal College of Music. I developed the messaging and copy for the campaign video, bringing the partnership and its opportunities to life across Inspired Education Group’s social channels. The content highlighted students’ access to world-class musicians and unique performance opportunities, helping turn the programme into something prospective families could see and connect with.
