[PODCAST] SBfm25 – School Marketing and Social Media Survey 2019

Welcome to SBfm25. Today’s podcast is going to be a little unorthodox. Now that I’ve piqued your interest, let me explain. As the school year begins, I’m really excited to share the findings from Year 2 of the School Marketing and Social Media Survey 2019. As a reminder, I’ve conducted the report with my partners, image seven, an integrated marketing communications firm based in Australia. The report was officially launched recently when I was a guest on their podcast, called School Marketing and Communications (SMC). This episode is unorthodox because I am simply releasing the audio of their podcast on my podcast.
