This is Flow has been appointed to manage all paid media strategy, planning and buying for Charles Sturt University following a competitive tender process.
This Is Flow takes over the account from the incumbent, Merkle.

The university operates major campuses across regional New South Wales including Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Port Macquarie and Wagga Wagga, as well as specialist campuses in Canberra and Parramatta.
The University has three Faculties, delivering courses in Arts and Education; Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences; and Science and Health.
Charles Sturt University associate director, brand and performance marketing, Brooke Thompson, said of Flow’s appointment: “This is Flow consistently demonstrated strong strategic thinking and the cultural understanding required to effectively engage future students.
“Charles Sturt University is excited to work with the Flow team to ensure the opportunities we offer students, at both our regional campuses and online, reach as many eyes and ears as possible”.

Their strategic brief and business ambitions align perfectly to the Flow skill set and I can’t wait to see the level of growth we can create together.”
Flow’s partnership with Charles Sturt commences at the end of July with activity rolling out from August.
