Communications strategy
Applicants receive large volumes of communications from multiple universities on a weekly basis. Messages become diluted and important information can fail to cut through the noise We can’t control how many universities engage with an individual applicant, but the team here at SMRS can help you to create intelligent communication strategies.

Who we've done it for
Oxford Brookes University
Oxford Brookes University were embarking on a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Student Records System development project. Before they went too far, they needed to make sure that these new systems were fit for purpose. So, they asked SMRS to map their student journey.

Customer experience
We recognise how important it is to have positive experiences when deciding which university to study at.
