A big thank you to Anne Morris from Peerscroller by Yipiyap for delivering today’s CMN workshop!
The session introduced Peerscroller’s Post-16 Pathways and explored how colleges can use relatable, short-form video content to showcase their courses, campuses and facilities to prospective learners.
It was great to see how the platform can help colleges reach young people as they consider their next steps, while creating a bank of professional content without adding to the workload of busy marketing teams.
Thank you to Anne for sharing her insights—and to all our CMN members who joined us today.
