The College Marketing Network (CMN), the leading association for marketing professionals in the Further Education (FE) sector, is proud to announce its comprehensive rebrand, marking an exciting new chapter for the organisation. The refreshed brand is not only a visual transformation but also a reflection of CMN’s renewed mission: to foster a dynamic environment where collaboration fuels innovation and growth for its members.
The rebrand was spearheaded by Emma Wilde, CMN’s Executive Director, who brings her passion for creativity back to the forefront. Despite having focused her career on senior marketing roles for over 15 years, Emma began her journey as a graphic designer and remains a qualified expert in the field. Her design expertise, paired with deep sector knowledge, has brought a contemporary feel to CMN’s new look, ensuring it aligns with the evolving needs of FE marketing professionals.
“Our rebrand is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about embodying the essence of what CMN stands for today. We are committed to building a strong community of marketing professionals who can share knowledge, grow, and innovate together,” Emma explained. “This new direction reflects our dedication to providing the tools, support, and opportunities our members need to excel, drive success, and make lasting connections within the FE sector.”
The rebrand extends across all CMN platforms, including the flagship CMN Conference, regular CMN Workshops, and the prestigious FE First Awards. Each of these events will now be infused with the fresh, modern look that embodies CMN’s forward-thinking approach, as well as the core values of collaboration, professional growth, and support.
The refreshed logo, colour palette, and overall brand identity aim to communicate CMN’s forward-thinking approach and the spirit of collaboration that underpins its mission. This rebrand is just the beginning, as CMN continues to expand its services to ensure its members are equipped to meet the unique challenges of today’s education marketing landscape.
CMN invites its members and partners to explore the new look and join in celebrating this milestone, which signifies the Network’s continued commitment to professional development, shared growth, and innovation within the FE sector.
