“Rosemary Stamp's extensive experience of marketing within the Higher Education sector - combined with her professionalism, enthusiasm and approachability - resulted in an extremely well-structured, productive and enjoyable Marketing Skills Development seminar tailored for our staff. From the planning stage, during which she ensured she understood the specific needs of the University and the individual delegates, to the delivery of the training which included many practical 'real-life' examples, Rosemary provided a highly bespoke and relevant service which not only met but exceeded our expectations. The feedback from delegates was excellent and the training has had a real impact on working practices - so much so that we have already booked further events with Rosemary.”

“Rosemary Stamp's extensive knowledge of the higher education sector and her research to understand Exeter's specific needs have ensured that the tailored skills development programme, How to develop a market led portfolio of programmes and products, really meets the needs of our senior academic and professional services staff. The course, now in its third cycle, is highly practical and provides useful frameworks which can be used in a variety of functions across the University.”

“Rosemary Stamp is a major contributor to our MBA programme in Higher Education Management. Her wide knowledge of UK and European universities, her insights on the marketing challenges that they face and her practical approaches to them, are highly valued by our participants, who include senior university managers from across Europe.”

“Rosemary Stamp's knowledge, professionalism and passion helped ensure that the series of Communications and Marketing workshops I staged were a great success. Delegates were able to go back to their institutions with confidence and new ideas that enabled them to communicate to their stakeholders the importance and impact of the work they were doing.
Rosemary's intimate experience and knowledge of higher education and its institutions meant that the workshops were always perfectly pitched, effective and met the needs of a diverse audience.”
Tricia Wombell
Director of Marketing and Communications
The Leadership Foundation for Higher Education
“The Leadership Foundation felt that there was a need for an improved understanding of marketing principles, and in particular within the middle management and internal communications processes of higher education institutions. Working with Rosemary and colleagues we were able to develop and deliver a lively and well supported Marketing Programme for non-marketing managers. Its success can be signified by the fact that attendance on the programme attracted an excellent of cross section of participants from all types of institutions, and included the academic and professional services and even some marketing professionals.
The work of Rosemary Stamp and her team is well regarded for the intellectual rigour that they bring to developing marketing strategy for the education sector, and everything is done in a supremely professional way.”

“We have utilised Rosemary Stamp and her team for tailored skills development programmes on a number of occasions. We turned to Rosemary because she was able to offer something different - and more in tune with our brief - to the usual "ready fit" skills development companies. She offered tailored programmes that were able to accommodate our specific and varied needs. We have just concluded a successful career development programme which provided a realistic context for the development of a "career and opportunities" focus among our School's administrative staff. The session encouraged staff to understand the skills and abilities they posses and to deploy them in their current roles. It was very well received by all participants.
Rosemary and her team are extremely well plugged into the current problems and issues currently affecting higher education in the UK. I believe that her specialist team has much to offer managers who are keen to pursue really innovative staff development initiatives.”

“So often I have found that professional development courses are based on the hypothetical and are difficult to apply to one's own situation, so it was refreshing and engaging to attend Rosemary Stamp's Introduction to Marketing seminar. The full title of the course included Meeting real marketing challenges and it did exactly what it said on the tin! The day was grounded in the delegates' existing challenges and realistic situations based in HE. I found the explanations of marketing theory understandable and think I can easily apply them to my work in marketing the NSS. I particularly took away new skills in planning the campaign and sharing ideas with other delegates opened up new avenues of thinking for me. Overall, I feel more confident in participating in conversations about marketing and found it to be an invaluable introduction to the subject.”

“Rosemary Stamp is a great communicator whose many years of experience shine through in her exquisite presentation style. The Introduction to Marketing skills development seminar which I attended was versatile and eye opening in many respects.”

“Rosemary Stamp facilitates skills development seminars which are insightful, informative and fun. The event I attended included a wide range of delegates with widely differing experience and awareness of marketing issues. Even the most timid attendees were quickly engaged by the techniques Rosemary skilfully employs. All felt they gained a great deal from the day, whether an increased understanding of marketing theory, practical tips, or that most valuable commodity, confidence.”
