Meet the team - Ben Dales

Head of Digital, Education Management Services

Qualifications: BA Hons in Media Communications

Work Experience: Ben joined Supporting Education Group in September 2021 as the EMS Division Head of Digital to provide support and assistance on all digital touchpoints for each business from SEO strategy to PPC advertising and website optimisation. As a data obsessed digital marketer, Ben works with each business to ensure that all decisions and implementations are based on data backed results so is regularly diving deep into Google Analytics and any other data available!

Ben’s background involves working for a number of global membership associations, most recently within the Broadcast & Media industry where he was regularly travelling the world to trade shows and conducting TV interviews whilst also running the digital channels for the association and providing digital support to each of their members.

Having worked extensively with Thrive since joining SEG, Ben really enjoys working with the marketing team to harness the power of digital to spread the word on the amazing work that Thrive does across the education sector.

A little more about me: Ben is an obsessive runner, regularly going out in the mornings before work and was also once in a band that was played on Radio 1 (a fact he still dines out on over 15 years later!).
