CIMarketing is Australia's premium marketing agency for schools. We've spent 20+ years helping schools build their brands, grow enrolments and communicate effectively with their communities.
Mark Barrett founded CIMarketing with a clear vision: to be the premium marketing agency of choice for schools in Australia. Mark brings a rare blend of strategic thinking and creative execution to every project.
His career has exposed him to retail giants, global brands, advertising agencies and the competitive printing industry. These experiences have shaped his results-driven approach to school marketing. But it's his deep understanding of the education sector that sets him apart.
Mark is a recognised voice in the industry, having served as a marketing columnist for various online and print publications. He has also been a regular keynote speaker at major conferences including the Adobe Web Design Conference, Educate Plus (AU and NZ), Association of School Registrars and the School Marketing Aforia.
Mark's agency, CIMarketing, has won 9 industry awards for school websites and strategic execution.
In 2016, Mark launched the annual School Marketing MasterClass, which has equipped over 250 school marketers with the latest marketing strategies and trends. His passion for sharing knowledge has made him a trusted advisor to school marketing and leadership teams across Australia and the world.
