What is Digistorm Funnel?
Digistorm is one of the leading technology brands used within the Independent School sector, offering Website, Apps and Funnel to provide an all-in-one school enrolments solution to nurture prospective and current families from awareness to enrolment
Why Digistorm Funnel?
Digistorm Funnel enables school marketing and admission teams to build relationships with prospective families. As a school CRM system, it’s designed to streamline the entire enrolment process, leaving more time to focus on building relationships with existing and prospective communities.
Benefits of partnering with a Digistorm expert
Collaborating with an implementation partner helps schools optimise their Funnel investment and achieve their goals faster and more efficiently. Instead of juggling project management and working out the best setup for your school alongside daily routines, we provide expertise, strategic advice, and practical implementation support.
What is the value of working with a certified or experienced Digistorm consultant
- Expert Onboarding and Faster ROI: We have a proven framework for implementation. Ensuring Funnel is configured correctly from the start and your team is up and running much faster.
- Tailored Strategy and Implementation: Digistorm Funnel is a great tool, but it’s generic and requires implementation around the specific needs of your school brand and operations. We work to understand your goals, organisational nuances, and the desired parent customer journey. We then customise Funnel workflows, content and dashboards to suit.
- Seamless System Integration: Most schools will need to consider how Funnel integrates with the website, School Management and Accounting Systems. Because we’re familiar with schools and the IT systems, we can help facilitate the change and integrations.
- Seamless-Funnel Alignment: A good partner helps you align your admissions, marketing, and community programs to create a cohesive, brand experience that suits your school. Leading to better lead nurturing, improved admission cycles and community retention.
- Clear reporting and dashboard set up: A critical element of Funnel implementation is the reporting set-up, to ensure activity is tracked, measured and acted upon. Our expertise makes this straightforward to offer illuminating data.
Our Digistorm Funnel Services
Technology Evaluation and Implementation: We help schools implement and optimise admission and student management platforms. While we are platform-agnostic, our team is familiar with Digistorm, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Enquiry Tracker. We project manage the implementation and support roll-out.
Marketing & Admissions Audit: Broader than Funnel implementation, we unpack the effectiveness of marketing and admission activities to identify areas of strength, improvement and optimisation. Our tried and tested methodology reviews marketing performance, capability, technology, data and insights to pinpoint areas of improvement and efficiency.
Admissions reporting and forecasting: Working with admissions and finance teams, we build forecasting models and a reporting cadence to create much needed transparency across the admission and enrolment pipeline, providing clarity for school planning.
Post Implementation: Many schools reach out to us for help to optimise the performance of Digistorm Funnel post implementation. Just like admissions and marketing, Funnel is not a
Set-it-and-forget-it platform. We offer flexible ongoing support to refine setup, optimise campaigns, automations to ensure the team is using the platform effectively.
When to consider a Digistorm Funnel Partner?
Consider hiring an implementation partner in the following situations:
- New to Digitsorm Funnel. If your team lacks CRM or Digistorm Funnel experience we can help prevent common and costly mistakes during setup.
- The admissions team is already stretched. If your admissions team is at full capacity and you don’t have the bandwidth to execute a successful implementation, can handle the project and technical details, freeing your team to focus on core day-to-day activities.
- You need a tailored strategy, from the ground up: We don’t just configure Digistom Funnel software; we help you develop what’s essentially a go-to-market strategy to bring Funnel’s capabilities and your school brand and unique value proposition alive
- You need to expedite rollout. If you have a tight deadline to get the Digistorm Funnel live, we can help accelerate the process and ensure a timely launch.

FAQ’s
What engagement model best suits me?
If you have a single project, a consultant engagement is often the most effective method. For multiple projects or broader scopes of work, interim marketing is a better choice. Conversely, the outsourced marketing team works best when you require a range of skills, for a longer period.
How do I define the scope and requirements?
We’ll help you nail your interim or fractional marketing brief. We’ll collaborate to define your scope, objectives, end goal and any associated KPIs to ensure we have clear expectations.
What’s the difference between Emmet consulting and a contractor?
Not all contractors are experienced consultants. Emmet only offers interim marketing executives who are capable of effecting large-scale change or commercial transformation. Our team has a defined DNA; all have worked in client, large consulting, tier one agencies and/ or private equity organisations.
How do we ensure projects deliver on time and costs stay within budgets?
At the commencement of a project, we define the regular cadence required to ensure project delivery and the estimated costs associated with the program. We jointly agree on delivery dates, identify interdependencies and red flag any issues immediately, for collective resolution.
