The Great Escape ft. Rickert Marais

In this episode of The MADness Podcast, we’re joined by Rickert Marais, Director of Marketing and Admissions at Stamford American School Hong Kong.

From shifting demographics and changing parent expectations to standing out in a crowded market, Rickert shares what's driving Stamford's success.

We explore differentiation, sustainable growth and why the school experience matters as much as the marketing.

Plus, we discover Rickert's side hustle as a board games master and his passion for the art of Unreasonable Hospitality.
