I’m Julie Vincent

The outdoors, books and more books, gigs and music, and the people in my life who bring me sunshine

A little bit of what I do

I specialise in higher education market research, insight, and strategy development for universities. I take time to understand the specific positioning, aspirations, and challenges for each university. Collaborative working relationships really matter to me, both with colleagues at IFF and with our clients. My focus is on delivering robust research, and insight led recommendations that can enable confident decision making and change.

What I’ve achieved

My career started clientside in 1996, with 12 years at a university growing a respected market insight team. I founded a successful higher education specialist research agency in 2008, which was acquired in 2018. Most recently, I was Head of Insight at the University of Kent, leading a small but impactful team. I have worked for over 35 universities, and I am really proud of strong recommendations from clients. I’m passionate about equality of opportunity, and have been a career mentor for university students, a Music Hub Board Chair, and founding Trustee of a Multi Academy Trust.
