Wavemaker UK has retained the Department for Education (DfE)’s media strategy and planning services for School Teacher and FE Teacher Recruitment Campaigns. The selection follows a competitive four-week tender process under the Campaign Solution 2 framework.

Chris Greer, managing partner, Wavemaker UK said, “It’s incredibly rewarding to have been reappointed as the DfE’s teacher recruitment media planning agency of record. We look forward to working with the team to continue to positively provoke the department’s media strategy and engage with the ever-evolving needs of its target audience.” 

Chloe Saklow, Department for Education, added, “Wavemaker’s response to our brief demonstrated a strong understanding of the exacting needs of our often-fragmented audiences, alongside strategic and innovative thinking to help us continue to cut through in a competitive market.  We look forward to our continued partnership with the team.”
