Kate Chaffey

Marketing and Student Recruitment Manager


Biography

Kate graduated from LSBU with a BA (Hons) degree in Theatre Practice: Creative Producing in 2013. Since then, she has worked at a variety of arts organisations and charities in the South West, supporting with their marketing, communications and development needs.

Kate began working for BOVTS in December 2021. She leads the School’s comprehensive marketing and student recruitment strategies. Her role encompasses promoting the School’s degree courses, managing theatrical production marketing and overseeing student launch initiatives.

Working alongside course leaders, the Director of Drama, Head of Brand & Marketing and Head of Development, Kate develops and implements targeted marketing campaigns across print, digital and social media platforms to drive course recruitment and brand awareness. Her responsibilities extend to audience engagement, alumni communications and ensuring the School maintains its competitive edge in the higher education landscape.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
