WelcomeTo the first special summer issue of Portal Press. In a variation from its usual format, Portal Press will be issued weekly over the summer break and will comprise of a round-up of ongoing recruitment activity ahead of the start of the autumn term.Significant marketing work is ongoing across the three Colleges, with a particular focus on the theme ‘Your Career Starts Here’.

A large amount of advertising is already in place, with much more planned for the coming weeks. The campaign will utilise a wide variety of formats, including:

• print • radio • online • events • social media campaigns• direct marketing, in the form of mailers, text messages postcards and letters• outdoor media, like posters at train stations and on the rear of buses• freebies and competition giveaways

For the first time, the campaign will also utilise a series of high-tech digital marketing techniques. This provides a number of benefits, including:

• Google Search Advertising – College adverts will appear on Google when anybody searches for relevant college courses and search terms

• Google Display and Remarketing – Google display adverts targeting individuals according to location and remarketing

• Facebook Advertising – Targeted adverts (by age, location and remarketing) at potential students and current applicants

• Amplified Content – Running content into the target newsfeed and mobile devices (age, location and remarketing).

These digital tools will involve separate campaigns for FE and HE, aimed at conversion to application or enrolment depending on the stage an individual is currently at in the process.

There are a number of key objectives, which the campaign will aim to achieve.

These – supported by admissions statistics – are:

• Promote enrolment conversion (FE and HE)• Promote additional applicants (NEETS & “Withdrawn” learners)•Maximise opportunities during Clearing•Maximise apprentice applications – opportunity to ‘transfer’ those individuals

unable to secure an employer placement on to other provision e.g. traineeships

• Smaller campaign to adults (24+ Loans) and part-time promotion.

• Position Hull College Group as the first choice for courses that lead to job outcomes – ‘Your Career Starts Here’

• Separate visual/approach for Higher Education at key times during the recruitment cycle *Highlight main student benefits – including FREE transport (simple message) and School Meals
