Murdoch Uni CMO shares his free thinking on branding and team design

Neil Cullingford is the Director Marketing & Communications at Murdoch University, a university based in Western Australia with a global presence in Singapore, Dubai and Myanmar. As Ty has spent a fair part of his working career working in tertiary institutions, this episode is a great opportunity for our listeners to discover a range of pertinent topics in this area from two experts.

In this episode we discuss:

• The impact that COVID-19 has had on the tertiary sector including the devastating effect on student mobility;
• The decline of admissions clearing houses like TISC as universities fight it out for direct domestic applications;
• Some of the positives from the pandemic, including the fast-tracking of online learning;
• The rebrand that Neil has led at Murdoch, including the rollout of new campaigns and a new visual identity; and
• How Neil is building a modern marketing team, including all the mod cons of an in-house creative production team through to a combined digital and physical engagement and experience team down to a marketing team divided into the long and the short of it.
