Episode 6

Comedy duo Paula Bottomley and Melanie Burke, Admissions and Marketing

Published on: 11th March, 2022

#006 - Welcome back to ‘I’d Rather be at the Beach’, brought to you by The Bonjour Agency. This is the podcast for school marketing people that’s nothing to do with school marketing, because let’s face it, you work hard already so this is just for fun. In each episode I speak to someone in the sector who won’t talk about work but we get to find out more about them as a person.

Now this episode is a little different because I’m talking to two guests at the same time and we recorded this in person in Kenya at the UK Boarding Schools Show organised by Kathy Campbell.

Paula Bottomley, Head of International Admissions at Wrekin College and Melanie Burke, Director of Admissions & Marketing at St Edmund’s College are a complete hoot in this. They talk about what it’s like travelling for work, their previous careers, their families and some of their favourite places in the world.

Being in Kenya with them is great fun too. Everyone’s flying back tonight and some of the friendships that have been made here are the kind that will last a long time.

But enough of me, let’s jump across to the Nairobi sun for an outdoor recording with Paula Bottomley and Melanie Burke.

About the Podcast

I'd Rather be at the Beach
Welcome to I'd Rather be at the Beach, the podcast for school marketing managers that's *not* about school marketing management. Instead we talk about everything else that school marketing managers spend their time doing. Their families, their hobbies, the previous jobs they've had, the music they're into, the books they're reading and the holidays they've been on. This is the podcast for you if you're a school marketing manager who likes your job, you might even love your job. But you'd rather be at the beach.
