About the College Marketing Network

The College Marketing Network has been supporting marketing professionals working in further education and specialist colleges since 1987. We have members in GFE, specialist and sixth form colleges across the UK. We run the prestigious FE First Awards for marketing excellence, which are presented at our Annual Conference in November.

The College Marketing Network: what’s in it for me?

For just one annual college-wide membership, you and your marketing team can access all our free services and discounts. As a member college of CMN, you can network with colleagues, keep up-to-date and refresh your skills, much of it without leaving your desk. And when you do join us for an event, take advantage of our free meetings, early bird rates and discounts ONLY available to CMN members.

Our member benefits include:

• Private JISCmail sharing good practice networking group – access to the experience and advice of other CMN members in confidence and from your desk. Join our JISCmail group and you can share your challenges and expertise with colleagues across the country.
• Online support for Heads of Marketing
• FREE programme of online training and CPD (currently replacing the Annual Conference and networking meetings).
• Networking and CPD meetings around the country during Winter and Spring, February – June (currently suspended). Programmes cover all aspects of marketing, speakers are mainly college colleagues, lunch and refreshments are included and meetings are informal and friendly;
