We understand that schools have a lot on their minds. It can be hard to find time to create booklets and flyers, social media posts to signage and make them look professional when they have to teach, run events, and do other things, so, as a team of creatives – it was our job to support them.
We’re happy to have given St. Mary’s Catholic High School in Astley, Wigan, a lot of marketing materials and tools this year. It wasn’t enough for us to just create one-of-a-kind items; we had to be there for them whenever they needed us, like we were part of their team – their external Marketing Comms Team.
We’ve created banners for open evenings, eye-catching social media graphics, press adverts, printed prospectuses, animated versions for screens too, a college guide, and handy A6 flyers. Each piece has been designed to feel part of the same family, so whether a parent picks up a flyer, sees a banner, or scrolls past a post online, it all feels consistent and professional.
One of the highlights of this year has been mixing print with digital. While banners and flyers help St Mary’s make a strong impression at events, the animated prospectuses and social media graphics keep their presence fresh online. Together, these different materials give the school plenty of ways to reach people, without staff having to juggle it all themselves.
But more than just delivering designs, what makes our partnership with St Mary’s special is the ongoing support. They know they can come to us with an idea (or even just a problem), and we’ll help bring it to life in a way that works. It means less stress for staff and a clear, consistent look for the school throughout the year.
To make that support even easier, we’ve also launched Marketing For Schools, a website designed to help schools like St Mary’s find creative marketing services that fit their goals. From prospectus design to social media support and event materials, it’s a space where schools can explore how to keep their branding strong and consistent all year round.
The end result? The new products at St. Mary’s not only look good, but they also show what the school stands for. Parents and people who want to enrol their children can really tell that they care about a lot and do everything cohesively and professionally.
At Character Creates, we love helping schools put their best foot forward. Our work with St Mary’s shows how much difference the right designs can make, and how having the right support takes the pressure off busy teams.
If your school is looking for help with everything from banners and prospectuses to social media and flyers, we’d love to work with you too. Get in touch with the team today.
