10 Digits

We provide actionable insight and hands-on consultancy for education entrepreneurs building great brands and high-growth businesses.

About us

The opportunity for education and EdTech businesses has never been more evident. The need for advanced learning models and new skills is growing exponentially as the world responds to pressing challenges such as the rise of automation.

As a result, investment in the sector is at an all-time high. In fact, over 400 global EdTech VC investments worth a total of $3.5 billion were signed in the first half of 2019.

Yet many education and EdTech businesses are struggling to grow. Why?

In our opinion, the answer lies in addressing business fundamentals. Whenever we talk to education business leaders, their two biggest challenges almost always relate to improving their sales pipeline or the effectiveness of their marketing to schools and teachers. With 15+ years of senior sector experience, 10Digits can help.

Over the last 18 months, we’ve deployed this extensive operational know-how to benefit EdTech start-ups and scale-ups. Using our proven track-record of growing revenues and building education brands in the UK and across Europe, we can help your business to generate and convert more sales leads, build credibility and amplify core brand messages with key audiences.

Our approach

At 10Digits, we follow a simple process to help our clients address their key challenges

  1. Our work always begins by listening and seeking to understand the problems from every angle. We also carefully consider the educational problem the product or service seeks to solve and for whom they are solving that problem.
  2. Once that’s clear and when initial evidence of educational impact is available, we start to think about how their pedagogical innovation might most effectively be communicated and sold into schools.
  3. 3These insights draw strongly on our extensive sector knowledge. We know from hard-won experience that schools are demanding environments for businesses. We therefore help clients to identify the right contact and right communication channels as well as proposing how best to position their insight and purpose.

10Digits helps and supports clients to scale in a careful, clear and consistent manner by following proven methodologies. Commercial and communications campaigns which follow such approaches are, in our experience, better equipped to sustain and grow than those who do not.

Our approach to all projects is pragmatic and hands-on. We’re focused on helping businesses reach solutions which work in practice and deliver the desired results.
