EduGlobal China
EduGlobal is a leading student recruitment firm in China, with nearly 20 years in the field. Today, EduGlobal has 22 offices throughout China that employ more than 300 staff members, all dedicated to helping students connect with schools. InternetCarbon is pleased to represent EduGlobal to the colleges and universities in the United States.
The Chinese market today is very brand conscious. This focus on brand is prevalent in consumer products and even more so in higher education. Nowhere in the world do parents focus more on getting their children into the highest-ranking schools than in China. If your school is not in the elite class of Top 100, then success in China has to start with brand development.
US Department of Commerce says – “In a brand conscious market, less well-known schools must implement active and strategic recruitment programs to establish credibility in China’s increasingly savvy education market.
Building Recognition in China for Your University
For schools that do not have instant name recognition and brand presence in China, EduGlobal believes that the standard agent relationship alone is not the best strategy.
