As part of the marketing strategy, there are a number of annual digital, marketing and communications campaigns delivered globally.

In 2018/19, key campaigns included a Global Reputation Campaign and a Global Student Recruitment Campaign.

The selected agency will be required to undertake strategic media planning and buying and provide real-time reporting to inform and drive future refinement of campaigns.
