Episode 14

🔔 Simon Blake, King's Ely, on his near-death experience, life outside school and Notting Hill

Published on: 23rd September, 2022

#014 - 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.

I’m Simon, former marketing manager turned owner of The Bonjour Agency, the place for school marketing managers. 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 you’re going to love this episode. I’m with Simon Blake, Head of Marketing at King’s Ely School in Ely.

I love this episode because Simon talks about how he ended up working here. But I also ask him what the most dangerous thing is he’s ever done and it turned out to be a near-death experience! We also talk about family life, we talk about schools but we don’t talk about work, no no, no.

That’s all coming up now so come with me as we head to King’s Ely and speak to Simon Blake.

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.
