About Us
Our Story
The SchoolHouse Agency specialises in helping the top international and independent schools in the world tell their unique stories by empowering them with strategic and effective marketing and communication tools and content.
Alexander Manton is an American photographer and cinematographer from New York City, and was based in Asia for the past three decades. With 130 years of family history in education in Asia and having attended an international school himself, he understands the specific needs that international schools face.
Helen Barry is originally from Australia but has spent many years living in Asia, working with clients in several industries. As our Executive Producer, she does a great job making sure that clients’ needs are met and that productions run smoothly. Our clients love the way that she makes their lives easier every step of the way.
They now divide their time between working for international schools in Asia and independent schools all across Australia.

Our Vision
Our vision is to employ a combination of video and technology to connect real people with real people, to thereby foster conversations and relationships. Relationships between prospective families and your admissions department. Conversations between your schools’ Human Resources department and prospective teachers. Relationships between donors and your school.
We strive to make our videos more than just pretty pictures. We create them to be strategic marketing and communications tools – memorable, effective, and authentic. We want to see video used in any place that effective communication is needed – on your website, on the Welcome page, in your social media feed, in letters and updates to parents. In almost any daily tool that you can think of, video is a much stronger choice than text.
Our Approach
We believe in transparent, long term relationships with our clients based on trust and mutual respect. We don’t see ourselves as “service providers” but as an integral part of your marketing and communications team.
We don’t believe that the client is always right. If that were true, you wouldn’t need us in the first place. We challenge the norm, turn things on it’s head, think outside the box, and tear up the rule book. We like to try new things and see if they work. And if they don’t, we keep trying.
We believe that the most important element of success is teamwork with our clients. While we’ve been rightfully accused of having the “gift of gab”, we start by listening. And then we brainstorm. And then we plan. And then we execute the plan. And then we evaluate and do it better the next time.
