Expanding or refurbishing

EXPANDING OR REFURBISHING? LET SEA HELP

Plans to expand?

Whilst the prospect of expansion or refurbishment is an exciting time for any school, it often places additional strain on the workloads of the SMT.

This is where SEA can help. As a marketing agency with over 30 years' experience in working with schools in the South East, we have services cherry picked for your project...

Community Consultation Effective communications with staff, students, parents and the local community is essential during this process.

Whatever stage of the process you are at, EXPANDING OR REFURBISHING? keeping everyone informed manages expectations and reduces objections and negative publicity.

SEA has experience in developing and distributing community consultation packs, leafleting the local area and managing PR campaigns for complete brand protection.

Signage Signage plays an important role in simplifying complex school grounds and managing the flow school users and visitors.

Clear signage is even more critical when undertaking building works to signpost temporary buildings and routes. You may also wish to consider updating permanent external and internal signage to enhance your updated facilities.

Our team has managed a number of signage projects, from design to installation.

Hoarding Construction sites can be unsightly and more critically, hazardous.

Hoarding is a great way to share your vision with the school community, whilst masking and containing building work.

Designed specifically to add interest and create maximum exposure whilst construction takes place, SEA can handle all elements of this project for you, from initial creative concept to printing and managing installation.

Interior Design If you've yet to pin down how the interior will look, we can help.

From stimulating interactive primary school rooms to environments to encourage aspirations and achievement for sixth form destinations, SEA can design concepts, through to installation and fitting. We'll also carefully consider the materials, to ensure durability, fire retardancy, and cleaning requirements.

We have always found SEA to be efficient, accurate and a pleasure to deal with. The standard of their work is always of the highest standard.

Advertising Campaign We're aware that funding bids are often more successful if the development has proven benefits for the local community.

Running an advertising campaign as part of your marketing activities will help communicate these benefits to the local community.

The campaign could extend an invitation to the launch event and a sustained advertising programme would encourage use of the facilities post launch.

Unveiling When all work is completed it's a truly exciting time for all involved. A formal launch event will help celebrate this momentous achievement and cement it in your school history.

SEA can help you plan and manage this event with services including PR coverage, banner production, advertising, presentations, video, temporary signage, photography, leaflet production, promotional giveaway materials and more.
