Testimonials

"Such an incredibly inspiring institute. After three days of sharing challenges, frustrations, aspirations and successes with my marketing peers from across Europe, I’ve come back to work feeling motivated and uplifted! I would highly recommend it to all HE marketers." 

"Really valuable experience, great faculty sharing expertise and facilitating tutor group and a rare opportunity to meet like-minded marketing colleagues from across the sector."

"I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The sessions were perfectly pitched and packed full of relevant takeaways. It was a pleasure to learn from such experienced marketing professionals, who were highly knowledgeable but also incredibly approachable. And the location and organisation were impeccable. I have left feeling prouder than ever to be a HE marketer and incredibly excited for the future! Huge thanks to CASE and everyone involved."

"Especially as someone newer to the field, it was a revelation in how marketing in HE is experienced by others across the country, and was incredibly useful for orienting myself in the market."
