"Numbers across the board are up, but most importantly the quality and the acceptance of quality-fit pupils has increased"
Survey of 100 offer holders
No potential can be leveraged without strategy.
Following our first project our relationship commenced in proper with a substantial parent satisfaction survey, asking 17 questions to 100 of the ~300 families offered an 11+ or 13+ place.
A significant amount of data was received, much of it prose, which was collated and analysed.
The output was a 30-page report, distributed to SLT, which went on to inform our content strategy.
Two-year retainer
The report kicked off a two-year retainer and content plan.
This included:
- The Rest Will Follow, a flagship campaign film
- The Feel, a series of student-focus stories
- Let Me Show You Around, a 360-degree, student-led virtual tour
- Welcome to Epsom, a Headmistress introduction
- Sports Paint, a photography campaign for large-scale print
- This Is..., a series of films focusing on individual departments
We've since renewed and extended our retainer for a further two years, continuing our relationship until at least 2025.

"The reason the film is successful is that the team at JonesMillbank worked with us over time, really getting to know Epsom College, listening to our market research, and responding to that in a really creative way. They feel like an extension of our team, and the project has been fully collaborative from day one."

"We're not just endlessly re-briefing; we can set out some key milestones, and it feels like a more mature way of working.
"The retainer works brilliantly as it means we have an agency that gets what we're about and we can hit the ground running and get results that we're both proud of."
