At Education Advisory we understand the tightrope education providers walk between academic excellence and financial health.

 

Education Advisory was created as a response to the perennial challenge educational institutions face with ever-increasing costs, limited resources, and tough competition, all while trying to preserve the quality of education. 

 

Imagine lowering your marketing costs while seeing a rise in student enrolments, or enhancing the student learning experience without additional expenses. That’s where we shine.

 

We believe that every cent invested in education should enhance learning experiences as much as it boosts an institution’s bottom line.

TESTIMONIALS

"David Maclean embodies a rare combination of three traits. He is a deep thinker, a committed doer, and a talented creative. David has the rare ability to see through notes of complexity, dive into the noise, and emerge with a simple marketing melody, a subtle business tune, or a hit strategic track. David is my go-to in any challenging organisational or business environment."

Fred Roed: CEO, Heavy Chef (Pty) Ltd
