Education and Training

Deploy a PR strategy to position ESSCA as a leading school in an ultra-competitive environment.

Challenge

Objectives

Solution

In a highly competitive ecosystem where leading business schools vie for the attention of prospective students, companies, and the media, ESSCA needed to assert its position, highlight its unique features, and maintain its presence in national rankings.

Increase the School's visibility among its various target audiences: high school students, parents, businesses, institutions, etc.

Promote its expertise, educational innovations, and international outlook

Ensure active monitoring and strategic positioning in national media rankings and lists.

Oxygen rolled out a comprehensive media relations strategy, combining institutional communications, promotion of internal expertise, and media coverage of the school's highlights, both in France and internationally.

Plan

  • Regular press conferences to convey the school's message

    Oxygen organized frequent press meetings to position the CEO as the school’s spokesperson on major higher education issues. This regular presence helped build a relationship of trust and closeness with the specialized media.

  • Press trips to international campuses

    To showcase the school’s international reach, press trips were organized to Shanghai and Budapest. These immersive experiences allowed key journalists to experience ESSCA abroad and report on its richness in long-form, high-quality articles.

  • Press conferences to mark key moments

    Each major news item (campus opening, accreditation, program changes, etc.) was the occasion for a dedicated press conference, bringing together the general media, education, and business.

  • Interviews with students and alumni to inform substantive topics

    To respond to the numerous ongoing projects in the editorial offices (rankings, professional topics, student profiles, etc.), the agency anticipated this by creating a database of interviews that can be accessed and activated at any time.
