'Digital first, but not digital only. How can we reach our audience digitally, using AI and other tools, but never, ever lose that personal touch. [...] across all of the independent school sector, it's the value of the people that really is the USP. So whilst our communications and our marketing will be very heavily dependent on being digital, never lose the people behind the digital' ~ Oliver Smith, CEO at @AMCISNews S5E5 #InspiringSchoolsPodcast 🎙 schoolbyt.es/48fSvx0

'Education should always be a relational experience. If it weren't, then everyone would be doing online school for a lot cheaper, or just Googling their way through life.
