About

Placeme is an education and migration consultancy specialising in a wide range of services from selecting the best university to immigration options that are best suited to your career pathway. Established in 2008 as Sun Global Services, it is the brainchild of Solai Mani who believes that quality counselling and personalisation of service plays a vital role when students and migrants are selecting a destination that suits their needs. With extensive experience in international education counselling, having sent many people to study and work, Solai has also realised the need for additional services such as helping clients with quality English coaching if required; developing high-quality curriculum vitae and providing on-going support for students throughout their international study.

Placeme has a real sense of responsibility and commitment to you as you make decisions regarding where you want to study internationally.

John Cockburn

International Marketing Director

I have over thirty years experience in Senior Management roles in the NZ education sector including extensive experience in student recruitment and pastoral care both domestically and internationally. In recent years I have worked exclusively in International Marketing in S.E.Asia and India. This work involved developing effective marketing and recruitment strategies and aligning these to the broader political, economical and organisational objectives within the New Zealand education context. International marketing has allowed me to develop an in-depth knowledge of recruitment trends and challenges along with the issues and concerns prospective students and their parents face as an international education becomes a reality.
