The objective of the School Teacher Recruitment Marketing Campaign is to support recruitment of c. 35,000 people into Initial Teacher Training every year, alongside the government priority to recruit an additional 6,500 new expert teachers across our schools, both mainstream and specialist, and our colleges over the course of this parliament.

Our aim is to inspire and attract candidates and grow the appeal of teaching amongst students and graduates under the age of 30, who are the group most likely to train to become a teacher.

The deliverables of this campaign are:

Campaign strategy and platform.
Brand strategy and guardianship to support wider marketing activities.
Creative development and production for paid advertising and to support the application of the creative strategy and platform across other marketing touchpoints, including the Get Into Teaching website.
Strategy, development and content production for direct marketing journeys (segmented email programmes).
