As an increasing number of schools join Multi-Academy Trusts, establishing a consistent marketing message across the entirety of your MAT and its member academies has become more vital than ever.

Hi-impact’s media team will enrich your marketing and communication with purposeful and effective solutions through the strategic use of website design, video, photography, virtual tours and graphic design.

With this in mind, our team has put together 5 ways you can ensure your Multi-Academy Trust stands out from the crowd:

Lights, Camera, Action!

Your MAT consists of multiple schools sharing a common vision and message. Bringing that to life through film is a sure way to build trust in your audience and tell the story of the places where memories are made, lessons are learned and friendships are forged.

Video not only builds a sense of community and pride with your existing schools, teachers and pupils but it also acts as a great prospectus for new schools thinking of  joining your MAT

It’s All About Image

Professional photography ensures that your MAT shines as brightly to the outside world as it does to those involved. It can be hard to ensure every school in the MAT has the same style and quality of photography but working with a dedicated creative partner can ensure their images are consistent and aligned with your goal.

Make Your Brand More Grand

Multi Academy Trusts hold an expectation of professionalism and quality. Fully branded presentations, prospectuses and information packs will give your brand the look and impact it deserves. Hi-impact has worked with a variety of MATs to ensure creativity is enriched with everything from a MAT logo to promotional PVC banners. These can be personalised to each academy whilst also maintaining the essence of the MAT. Extending this unity of branding across social platforms and websites will further enhance its impact.

Communication Is King

One challenge your MAT will face is standardising your academies’ websites. Creating cohesion across the MAT by developing all academy websites under a common template ensures that each and every school receives the same level of support. Hi-impact builds consistently presented sites  whilst allowing each academy to retain its own unique personality. Management of all school websites is simple and centralised, with a streamlining of administrative tasks such as Ofsted compliance checks and sharing of policies ctoan save hours of staff time.

Transforming Experiences

Using solely traditional media it can be difficult to truly showcase your academies and their ethos which is where interactive virtual tours really make an impact. A fully immersive experience of your schools will allow prospective parents, pupils and inspectors to navigate, learn about the facilities and get a feel for where the children will be working and playing – all from the comfort of their own home! 

Growing a Multi-Academy Trust is all about being stronger together. Working with hi-impact as a creative partner for your MAT ensures you have brand consistency right across the board but also that each school receives the same level of support and truly feels part of your MAT’s family.
