The biggest misconception is the terminology around nominations. We often work for clients in PBSA where the marketing team have been told not to actively market a building because ‘it’s nominated.’ Fast forward to July and turns out it was a referral agreement, or only part nominated or there’s a clause to release rooms if the uni don’t have enough students late in the day. It’s so important these contracts are scrutinized and the only reason not to market a building is if the uni has 100% financial accountability with no caveats. Otherwise that building needs a marketing budget and resource.

Nice Nick - I always think the key is also both parties understanding what they want and what that means for the other party!
