MODULE ONE:
9.00 - 4.30
Managing Your Budget Appropriately within a Landscape of Revenue Uncertainty and Competition
Covering costs, along with delivering a significant surplus or profit is an important KPI for any marketing department. Over the
next three years, academic institutions will experience a reduction of $1.1 billion in Government funding, creating a landscape
of uncertainty amongst departments, faculties and organisations on the whole.
With impacts to budgets imminent, it is a crucial time to evaluate campaigns and demonstrate return on investment from all
marketing activities. Operating in a global environment, Higher Education institutions need to utilise tools that analyse data and
evidence conversion rates from various marketing activities and communication channels. Using metrics to aid the validation
of your value proposition to senior management can educate them in the organisational impacts of a successful marketing
strategy.
Through attending this workshop, delegates will gain strategies that can aid agility through periods of change and restructure,
whilst enabling preparation for the impacts of fee-deregulation. Attendees can expect interactive discussion throughout the day,
exploring how to consistently add value to their marketing strategies, whilst experiencing depreciation of their budgets. Key
Takeaways:
• Continuing to add value through marketing activities in a constantly changing landscape
• Understanding the importance of cross-functional collaboration that will maximise the impact of both digital and print campaigns
• Tools to aid management of stakeholder relationships, both internally and externally
• Measuring and analysing data correctly in order to evidence demonstrable Return on Investment

• Defining your business model that will shape strategic direction of all marketing activities
• Collaborating cross-functionally in order to educate broader issues outside of your department
• Remaining innovative within a climate of financial uncertainty

• Maintaining momentum amongst internal and external stakeholders during periods of unrest

MODULE TWO:
9.00 - 4.30
Using Data and Analytics to Increase Reach and Leverage your Content Marketing Strategy
The world of digital and online marketing is constantly changing. In order to remain authentic and unique to your target
audience, it is imperative to continually assess your value proposition. There are many tools available to consumers at the click
of a button; however in order to leverage digital platforms and gain competitive advantage, marketers must understand how
effective use of social platforms can increase reach and influence consumer behaviour .
With traditional marketing techniques becoming less effective to audiences, marketing professionals need to restructure
engagement strategies that are non-invasive, yet deliver consistent, ongoing and valuable information. Looking beyond Higher
Education to brands that are favoured by students is an important technique that will enable you to understand and target your
audience with greater precision.

adapt their approach to social media platforms, ultimately increasing enrollment numbers and financial return. Key takeaways:
