Achieving Incredible Impact with Your Content
Are you finding it challenging to create a strong online educational presence despite regularly publishing course content and educational materials?
Having a wealth of educational content doesn’t necessarily equate to having a strong online presence in the e-learning sector. Without a solid content strategy in place, your efforts might feel like delivering lectures in an empty classroom, missing valuable students and potential enrolments. A haphazard approach can cost you time, resources, and potential tuition revenue.
That’s where a powerful content strategy comes into play. A tailored strategy ensures that every piece of educational content aligns with your institution’s mission, resonates with your target learners, and motivates them to enrol and engage. By anchoring your content initiatives with a well-outlined strategy, you stop improvising and start inspiring.

Process
Implemented a full-funnel strategy using paid search, online video, paid social, and programmatic display for demand generation, complemented by paid social retargeting, cross-selling, and branded search campaigns for demand capture.
Results
Achieved a 10% increase in Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) and an 8% increase in revenue year-over-year.
