3. Study UK talk shows

The talk shows provide an opportunity for your alumni to participate and share their experience of studying a specific subject area at your institution. After being filmed, the talk shows will be livestreamed in the Facebook Fanpage “IELTS Face-off” which enable your institution to answer questions directly from online audience.
Timeline: Each talk show will be broadcast in one hour. The series of talk shows will be livestreamed during February and March 2020
| Besides advertising benefits that you will get during the pre-event promotion campaign in digital channels, the Q&A interaction with online audience during the time they watch the livestreamed talk-show will help you generate leads for student recruitment afterwards.
