A former Burnley College student who went on to become a key member of the Burnley College Marketing Team is returning to the College for another exciting milestone; this time as the founder of his own business.

Burnley College alumnus Christiano Scaturro is launching Enrolify, a new student recruitment marketing platform developed specifically for Colleges and Universities, with Burnley College becoming its first client.

Christiano’s journey with Burnley College began as a Sixth Form student, where he studied Business, Sociology and Film, achieving an outstanding A* A* A in his A Levels before progressing to university.

After graduating and beginning his career in marketing, Christiano returned to Burnley College in June 2021 as the Digital Strategy Lead, joining the College’s Marketing Team and helping to develop its approach to digital marketing and student recruitment.

During his time as an employee, Christiano also helped to bring the College website in-house, while continuing his own education and completing an MSc in Marketing at King’s College London with Distinction.

As his independent consultancy work grew, Christiano left his full-time position at the College in January 2023 to become a Digital Marketing Consultant, while continuing to work closely with Burnley College.

Over the following three years, his consultancy work with the College has included developing and executing full-funnel paid advertising strategies across platforms including Google and Meta and supporting student recruitment activity throughout key intake and enrolment periods.

Christiano also returned to Burnley College in September 2023 as a guest speaker at a Burnley Bondholders event, sharing his experience and expertise with members of the local business community.

Now, more than five years after first joining the College’s Marketing Team, Christiano is beginning the next chapter of his journey with the launch of Enrolify.

Built specifically for education providers, Enrolify combines a bespoke student recruitment marketing platform with expert digital advertising management, helping Colleges and Universities better understand how their advertising activity contributes to student recruitment.

The platform provides marketing teams with real-time visibility of campaign performance and will soon provide end-to-end metrics including cost per lead and cost per enrolment, helping education providers make more informed decisions about their digital advertising.

Burnley College will become the first education provider to join Enrolify, continuing a relationship which has evolved from Christiano being a student at the College to an employee, consultant and now founder.

Christiano said:

“Launching Enrolify is a huge milestone for me, but having Burnley College become our first client makes it particularly special.

My relationship with the College goes all the way back to being a student here. I am extremely grateful for the College’s support over the years as a student, an employee, a consultant and now as a business owner.

Working so closely with the College over the past 5 years has given me a real understanding of the challenges education marketing teams face, particularly around digital advertising, data and understanding how marketing activity contributes to student enrolments. Enrolify has been built around solving those challenges.

To now launch the business with Burnley College as our client really does feel like everything has come full circle.”

Danielle Taylor-Wood, Strategy and Data Team Leader at Burnley College, said:

“Over the past five years, Christiano has been a trusted partner of the college, helping the marketing team to strengthen our digital capabilities through his expertise, collaborative approach, and commitment to continuous improvement. Enrolify feels like a natural next step in that partnership, and with Christiano at the helm, we’re excited about the opportunities ahead and confident it will help us achieve even greater visibility, efficiency, and impact from our marketing activity.”

Christiano officially launches Enrolify on 1st September 2026, with the milestone being celebrated alongside colleagues at Burnley College following another busy enrolment period.

From student to employee, consultant and now founder, it’s an exciting new chapter in Christiano’s long standing relationship with Burnley College.
