Heist Awards

For over 30 years, the phrase ‘Heist Award’ has been synonymous with excellence and innovation in education marketing. Not only are the Heist Awards a time for celebrating the absolute best of our sector, but the awards night itself gives the hardworking marketing teams in higher and further education a chance to let their hair down. And after a show-stopping return in 2024, we’re as ready as ever to celebrate the achievements of institutions across the education sector once again this year. To see the satisfaction of recognition settle in on the faces of overjoyed marketers, and applaud the brave institutions that said ‘yes’ to their bold ideas. Join us in Leeds on 10th July!
