ABOUT THE EDUCATION COMPANY LIMITED

About the Company

1988 saw two events destined to change the face of education forever. The then Conservative government implemented the National Curriculum for England & Wales and David Edwards & Jason Gould started what would soon become known as the Education Company - or more recently as EdCo.

The business started as a consultancy helping large companies run competitions in schools. It soon became evident, however, that data was the key to all things marketing. Incorporating as a Limited company in 1991 EdCo has been using data to help education suppliers market and sell effectively into schools and colleges ever since.

Much has changed since 1991. In 1992 Ofsted was born. In 2000 Tony Blair launched the Academies programme. All the while the internet was relentlesslly changing everything. What hasn't changed, however, is our commitment to using data intelligently to help organisations achieve their business goals. Where once we specialised in direct mail we now focus on intelligent data driven digital solutions.

The Education Company - 2015

"The data provided by the Education Company provides us with the insights to make more informed marketing decisions. They are genuinely focused on helping us meet our objectives and it is always a pleasure to work with them. The account management and support team are excellent; they are always quick to respond and provide us with comprehensive answers that allow us to progress with our campaigns.”

"The Education Company’s CRM software (SPIRIT) has been incredibly useful for our sales team – the volume of establishments integrated with the software and the ability to access this information when not connected to the Internet means our team can be fully prepared for their meetings wherever they are. The DataMining tool is also simple to use but very effective, as it helps give greater visibility of the data with the hundreds of items that can be included in the reports. The team at The Education Company are also conscious of making sure you are getting the most from the data, and are very helpful in working with you to create any specific reports that you need to achieve this."
