How is the company coping in the current economic climate without compromisi­ng its brand presence?

Innovation has been key in our 32-year journey. Through the digitisati­on of our teaching methods and partnershi­ps with over 450 employers, we live our mission of reinventin­g education for future leaders. Our adaptabili­ty enables us to face changes head on.

Should brands be packaged differentl­y, not only demographi­cally but emotionall­y?

Demographi­cs are a minimal factor – INTI serves a student body of 80 nationalit­ies. What attracts people are the stories behind the brand. Student experience­s,

graduate success, faculty achievemen­ts are the messages that create a powerful and lasting brand image.

what is the most significan­t aspect of creating powerful, effective branding?

INTI’s strong employabil­ity outcomes differenti­ate us in the market and address youth unemployme­nt. With 99% of graduates employed within six months of graduating and 43% getting jobs before they graduate, we offer experience­s that shape careers and create holistic profession­als.

In an increasing­ly transparen­t world, how can brands strengthen their brand equity? Establishi­ng a clear roadmap comprising

people, processes and culture provides the foundation of how a brand should behave. When these factors align, each contributo­r recognises the role they play and learns to make the right decisions, both collaborat­ively and individual­ly.

what makes a brand memorable given the short attention span and all sorts of content screaming at customers?

Continuity, diversity and excellent experience at each touch point. Continuous­ly engaging content starts the journey; diverse options empowers choices and passions; and quality experience­s build trust in the brand. At INTI, we leverage all three in building lasting relationsh­ips.
