Claire Grlj is a marketing consultant specialising in helping Catholic Schools to increase enrolments and animate their school communities. Working primarily with mission-based organisations, teams and schools, Claire believes in the Catholic Education System and what it provides for professionals, students, their families and the community. Claire has a broad range of experience having run businesses, support teams and events for over 20 years. She has experienced and implemented a multitude of marketing tactics and strategies.

“I established Leading Marketing Solutions when I realised that the wonderful work being done by educators at our Catholic Schools wasn’t reaching the right people in the community at the right times. I observed a need to deliver fast and affordable marketing advice, support and services to Principals and schools to help them leverage their resources.”

Through strategies such as creating dynamic school websites, the creation of apps, and production of promotional videos and customised marketing advice, Leading Marketing Solutions provides support and solutions to ensure that your school gets the most out of the available resources.

Each School has a unique personality and Claire’s marketing advice and strategies is not about a “cookie cutter” approach, rather it’s about bringing the unique qualities of the school to life. Claire stands for the people in Catholic schools who are bringing out the best in their students and she does the same for highlighting the best in the whole School.

Claire believes in being a champion for the Principals and School Leadership Teams she serves while relieving the “mystery” of school marketing – she provides expert and customised advice and support that fasttracks action and results.

The enemy of marketing in schools is mediocrity and inefficiency – Claire often says, “that includes “fluff” marketing – activity that results in little or no measureable outcome!” Claire saves her clients from wasting time and money on bright shiny marketing objects that “seemed like a good idea at the time”. Bootstrap marketing for Schools is a speciality.

She is a parent of both primary and secondary school students attending Catholic Schools, and she understands the issues schools face. As a member on the Pastoral Advisory Board in a Secondary College, she’s also experienced School Leadership Team challenges first hand.
