Imagery; a powerful marketing tool.

Introduction

As we all know, in recent years making a great first impression online is incredibly important for both schools and their prospective parents. Photography and videography play an important role in marketing and advertising because they tell a story. Each school is unique, and it’s hard to get this across simply using words alone.

Professional photography and videography, if done well – connects you with people and makes us imagine what it would be like to be stood in that scenario. We immediately pick up on things like school standards, how welcoming a place looks, their surroundings, and most importantly; children & students looking happy and inspired at school. It’s incredibly important for a prospective parent to look at your school website and visualise that their child could be happy there. Every school has their own values, and it’s amazing how impactful good visuals can be to show these off.

High quality images are a vital aspect to bring a school’s website to life and to communicate it’s distinctive identity.  Working with a professional photographer like Katie gave us a set of outstanding images that truly celebrate what makes our school special.
