About
An extension of your marketing department.
DES is made by Marketing Advisers for Schools — a team who work only with schools and trusts, and who built the platform they wished existed.
Who we are
Schools specialists, not generalists.
We spend every working day inside school marketing: admissions cycles, open events, boarding, bursaries, governor reporting and the long parent journey. That focus is the reason DES feels like it was built for your job — because it was.
DES, the Digital Empowerment Solution, is our own platform. It brings planning, publishing, analytics, advertising, guidance, AI Chat and sector news into one place, then adds the thing schools can't get anywhere else: peer benchmarking with a Human + AI Brand Strategy Review.
Let your school shine even brighter. Plug in & switch on. #GoDES
We're a corporate member of AMCIS, the Association for Admissions, Marketing and Communications in Independent Schools.
