What our partners have to say
Insider Guides helped us increase our leads for our RMIT online Open Day at a time when, due to COVID, marketing through other channels was quite challenging. The team were responsive, highly professional, agile, and we look forward to working with Insider Guides again

Assistant Director, International Recruitment
RMIT
Communicating on behalf of the government and creating content that meets international students’ interests and needs is tricky. We know there are all kinds of considerations such as cultural relevance, tonality, understanding, context, language use and more. Insider Guides consistently delivered high-quality, unique stories that met these criteria and were always on brief and on time. We would definitely consider working with Insider Guides on future work.

As a reader I am always impressed by the engaging content and pithy highlights of each student city and as an advertiser, the reach and depth of their ever-increasing audience.
