Shrewsbury International School Bangkok (SHB) has enjoyed a close collaboration with
MMG for the past two years, solidifying its status as one of the most esteemed British international school brands in the Asian region.
However, Shrewsbury Bangkok and Shrewsbury Hong Kong face distinct challenges. With the ongoing reforms in China’s private international education system, an increasing number of Chinese families are opting for overseas international schools.
Facilitated by MMG’s proactive efforts, Shrewsbury has experienced a significant surge in visibility on Chinese social media and the internet, capturing the attention and enrollment applications of numerous parents. Yet, for SHB, the paramount challenge lies in selectively identifying families and students aligned with the school’s distinctive culture.
Meanwhile, at Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong (SHK), situated in the fiercely competitive international school market, the primary challenge revolves around attracting a greater number of parents and successfully converting families interested in the school.

Establishing a Comprehensive Social Media Platform: Initiate the creation of various social media platforms from scratch, including but not limited to WeChat, Redbook, and Zhihu.
