BETT
They asked...
Leading edtech trade show Bett wanted to become a brand that has a 365-day presence outside of the traditional, annual show cycle. With’s objective was to reshape Bett as an active community within the education sector, with recognition as a thought-leader, source of insight and active contributor at policy level.
We delivered...
We built a positive and engaging narrative, demonstrating how Bett brings together teachers, academics, innovators and policymakers outside of traditional education press, ensuring a wider reach. Background briefings with media from TES to the Telegraph helped the pre-event coverage build. Our skills in unlocking the most compelling angles allowed us to work with key exhibitors on standout national coverage in the final few days before launch and on site.
We landed previously unseen exposure on the BBC, in The Guardian, The i and City AM as well as 1:1 briefings with influential political figures in the Education Select Committee. Our stories touched on mobiles in schools, teacher workload, revision and fake news.
