Teacher Talk
STAEDTLER
UK
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of STAEDTLER Teachers’ Club, we were tasked with developing activity to “give back” to the Club’s loyal community of 20k+ UK primary school teachers. In response, Equinox devised Teacher Talk: a virtual event series, featuring webinars/workshops/discussions hosted by key figures/personalities from the world of education and edutainment.
Marking the anniversary milestone, we spotted an opportunity to further enhance the community’s experience — by providing members with free-access to valuable CPD/social/collaborative opportunities outside the classroom.
And by providing this added-value experience, STAEDTLER — a global stationery brand — was able to increase customer-loyalty and build brand-advocacy within its most important market (education).
​
To align STAEDTLER alongside diverse, respected voices within the education space, we brokered partnerships with:
Each speaker, selected for their academic area of expertise and relevance, hosted a session (1hr-1.5hrs) where TC members had the opportunity to interact with in-session activities, ask questions and discuss various topics related to the UK-curriculum and wider industry.
​
By offering a variety of events within the TT series, we were able to maximise interest by promoting unique events with greater relevance to sub-audiences of teachers.
