Hello

I'm Ria, a Marketing Consultant with over 15 years working in Higher Education, Graduate and Youth Marketing. I am incredibly passionate about helping institutions to build awareness, engage with the right prospects, build authentic relationships, and provide students with the education and support they are looking for. 

I am committed to working with you, whilst providing an outsider perspective to build and develop smart strategies and plans.

My Story

I am a marketing professional who has had a diverse career working within universities, leading central marketing and recruitment teams as well as driving marketing activities within academic schools and departments. I have also worked in senior roles within commercial agencies supporting student engagement and leading HEI marketing campaigns, and led on graduate recruitment and equality, diversity and inclusion campaigns for a broad spectrum of business and brands, including Channel 4, Capgemini, Nestle, Clifford Chance, Three, Tesco and Cisco. 

​

I have worked with a variety of institutions and organisations driving student recruitment growth - across the UK and internationally. I have developed marketing communication plans focussed on academic research and reputation, support and student life, and employability. I have led on large scale implementations of multiple CRMs and delivered comprehensive strategies alongside multiple internal and external stakeholders.

​

In 2021, after many years of dipping my toe into consultancy, I took the leap and launched An Outsider Consultancy. An Outsider is focussed on supporting marketing, recruitment and communications teams in Higher Education institutions to have a fresh perspective on what they are doing, where they are going, and how they can get their more quickly, and smarter. 

​

I pride myself on building genuine and authentic relationships with my clients and their teams, working with passion and years of experience to provide honest insight with tangible results and actionable solutions.
