the college marketing network
Preston
For just one annual college membership, all members of your marketing team can
access all our free services and discounts. As a member college of CMN, you can
network with colleagues, keep up-to-date and refresh your skills, much of it
without leaving your desk. And when you can join us for an event, take advantage
of our networking meetings, early bird rates and discounts ONLY available to CMN
members. "Many thanks for everything whilst I've been Head of Marketing at the
college. I've found the support offered by CMN invaluable." "Thank you for your
support and help in the past and for the valuable opportunities the Network has
provided. I shall recommend that the college continues with membership after I
leave." "I’d just like to say how valuable I’ve found the CMN, and express my
thanks for all of your hard work in making it such a useful forum for best
practice sharing." “During my 15 years as Senior Marketing Officer, we have
always supported and been a member of the College Marketing Network. I have
thoroughly enjoyed attending the many national and regional conferences and
found them to be very informative on a national and local level. More recently
the introduction of JISC mail has been a revelation, it has provided an instant
service to sharing problems and initiatives.” “Can I just say how valuable I
have found the Network, particularly JISCmail and having the opportunity to
network with other colleagues at events.” Our member benefits include: FREE
online training events - Workshop Wednesdays are an ongoing programme of FREE
training and CPD for CMN members only which cover trending topics in education
and marketing; Resources from the online 2021 conference and other events
available to download in the members' area of the website; Private JISCmail
online networking group – access to the experience and advice of other CMN
members in confidence and from your desk. Join our JISCmail networking group and
you can share your challenges and expertise with colleagues across the country.
(JISCmail is an email system enabling online discussion within a defined private
group – see www.jiscmail.ac.uk/COLLEGEMARKETINGNETWORK); Separate new JISCmail
group for internal comms specialists; Member subgroups for Heads of Marketing -
similar to JISCmail but these groups meet online via Zoom. You'll be in a group
with 6-10 other member colleges who are not your immediate competitors, so you
can speak freely and access advice and support from fellow marketers, share
ideas and know you are not alone! Sub-groups meet half-termly and also chat via
email with a ficus on strategic issues; Mentoring and professional support
scheme – free peer-to-peer support between members on request; Our popular
Networking and CPD meetings held during Winter and Spring each year are
currently suspended and replaced by the online Wednesday Workshops; Significant
