Dear Arthur, please find as requested answers below in relation to your
e-mail to my colleague Greer Hill
1. Prospectus Design and Artwork
When will you be tendering for the design of your next prospectus?
We only re-tendered last year, we wouldn’t look to re-tender until 2016
Who designed your last prospectus and when was this?
Our prospectus was designed by Holy Cow at Martlesham, Suffolk and we are
going through the design now for 15/16
How many people tendered for the design of your last prospectus and who
were they?
I believe there were other agencies involved as part of the tendering
process in 2013 but as myself and team are new to the area, we don’t have
any information on the other companies involved
How much did you pay for your last prospectus for the design and artwork?
35k was the total amount including printing
How many did you get printed?
20,000 copies
How much did you pay for the printing?
As above, included in the overall cost
2. Website Design and Management
When will you be next be tendering for a refresh or redesign of your
website?
We would not look to re-tender at this stage because a large percentage of
changes are developed and completed in house. We currently use a web
design agency – Creative Sponge for configuration (updates we are unable
to do in-house) Our in house marketing team do all updates across all
areas including news, course information, social media, banner and
creative design. Our design agency would be responsible for configuration
of the application form, updates to design (eg sizes of display areas etc)
When was your website last updated in terms of the design, look and feel
and when was this?
October 2013
How many people tendered for your last website refresh and who were they?
Creative Sponge are our web design agency and were the web design agency
for Easton College before the merger of Easton and Otley College in Aug
2012
How much did this cost?
As per above, In October 2013 we launched the Easton and Otley College
website; previously there were two websites, one for Easton College and
one for Otley College. Creative Sponge used the Easton College website as
a model for the new website. The cost to merge the two sites together
including updating the application form was approximately 15k.
Can you please confirm receipt of this e-mail
Best Regards
Karen
