The challenge

What was the client's problem?

The client had multiple programmes but was promoting them with similar messaging. Campaign performance varied significantly between courses and there was limited visibility into which audience and offer combinations were working.

  • 01

    Multiple courses

  • 02

    Different student segments

  • 03

    Inconsistent campaign performance

  • 04

    Generic creative

  • 05

    High competition

  • 06

    Limited funnel tracking

Objectives we agreed on

  • Generate student enquiries
  • Improve lead quality
  • Promote multiple programmes
  • Identify high-performing audiences
  • Build a scalable paid acquisition model

Our approach

How did we approach it?

Each course became its own acquisition journey instead of another variation of the same campaign.

  1. 1

    Course & Audience Mapping

    Matched each programme with its most relevant student segment.

  2. 2

    Offer Strategy

    Created distinct messaging around career outcomes, course benefits and programme flexibility.

  3. 3

    Creative Testing

    Tested video testimonials, educator-led content, course highlights and outcome-focused creatives.

  4. 4

    Lead Funnel

    Built lead forms designed to capture course interest and student requirements.

  5. 5

    Retargeting

    Re-engaged users who interacted with course content but did not enquire.

  6. 6

    Performance Optimization

    Shifted budget toward stronger course/audience combinations based on conversion data.
