Brand Development – Thrive Sixth Form

The Thrive Partnership is an academy trust which operates two academies in Colchester and Brightlingsea, the Philip Morant School and College and the Colne Community School and College. Philip Morant and Colne Community College became academies in 2011, when the two schools decided to collaborate to create the academic trust.

Mackman helped the Trust to promote the Sixth Form offerings of both academies through an extensive programme of insight, social media promotion, and design and implementation of marketing materials such as tote bags, leaflets and badges to give to prospective students. Our work also included photography at both schools, promotional banners, posters, vinyl stickers, and a bespoke microsite to boost awareness among the potential intake.
