  • "The Spark Report is an invaluable resource for our marketing team. It brings together the best of Higher Education and out-of-sector inspiration, helping us keep pace with emerging trends and spark fresh thinking in our campaign planning. It’s a go-to tool for energising strategy and creativity across the team."

    – Charlotte Hopes, Head of Marketing, UWE Bristol

  • "Future Index is the source of so much insight and inspiration. With a small team, it’s hard to stay on top of everything - but they hand it to us on a creative platter. Their consultancy days have been invaluable, helping us overhaul our brand strategy and campaigns. We’ve seen real impact, with stronger identity and great feedback across the institution. I’m not sure what we’d do without them now."

    – Beth Hayes, Director of Marketing and Communications, St Mary’s University

  • “We truly value our partnership working with Future Index. They provide great insight and inspiration for projects and have helped us to map out a valuable approach to our student value proposition.”

    – Laura-Jane Gould, Director of Marketing, Manchester Metropolitan University

  • The University of Manchester have been a Future Index member from the start, benefitting from ‘sparks’ of inspiration for over 10 years. Our rationale for this partnership remains consistent - Future Index provide us with cost effective insight into the best engagement in our sector but also gets us thinking about the art of the possible. Over the years when we ourselves have been featured, this has also validated our thinking and gained our teams' recognition from our senior leaders for our ideas and the work we do.

    – Paul Govey, Head of Student Marketing, University of Manchester

  • Future Index brings together global insight and creative foresight that helps the University of Glasgow to innovate and deliver sector-leading campaigns and collateral. We are proud to be founding members of Future Index and look forward to our ongoing partnership.

    – Rachel Sandison OBE, Deputy VC, External Engagement, University of Glasgow
