South and City College Birmingham is one of the largest further education colleges in the West Midlands.
Spread across several sites in Birmingham, SCCB delivers courses across vocational training, academic qualifications and professional development. Thousands of students come through their doors each year.
It’s a busy institution with a busy marketing team to match.

When SCCB came to us, they weren’t looking for an agency to hand a brief to and wait. They needed someone who could work alongside their in-house team. Pick things up quickly. Deliver without needing their hand held.
Our background in the further education sector meant we could do that from the off. We understood the audience. We understood the pressures a college marketing team is under. And we understood that the creative had to work hard, not just look good.
Since 2023, we’ve worked across a wide range of projects. Annual reports that had to balance complex information with a clear, accessible design. Corporate publications built to reflect the college’s ambition. Brand work that kept SCCB’s identity consistent across everything they produce. Motion graphics for digital channels. The briefs keep coming, and so do we.
It’s the kind of relationship that works because both sides know what they’re doing. They brief well. We deliver well. The work gets better for it.

Three years in, the relationship is still going strong. We’re embedded in how SCCB’s marketing team works. Not a supplier they call when something goes wrong. A creative partner they bring in from the start.
The volume and variety of work we’ve handled means their team can focus on what they do best, knowing the creative is covered. Annual reports are out on time. Publications look the part. The brand stays consistent whether it’s print, digital or motion. That consistency matters in FE. Colleges are scrutinised. Prospective students, parents, employers, and funding bodies. Everyone forms an opinion based on how a college presents itself. Getting that right isn’t a nice-to-have.
It’s what we’re here for.
