📌 The Challenge

A private educational institution was struggling to fill program cohorts during seasonal admission cycles. High drop-off between initial prospectus download and final application submission left intake targets unmet.

❌ Before Optimization
  • ⚠️ High cost per application submission
  • ⚠️ No retargeting sequence for incomplete applications
  • ⚠️ Generic non-segmented audience messaging
  • ⚠️ Poor mobile experience for application forms
✅ After Intake Campaign
  • ✨ 215% Increase in completed student applications
  • ✨ 51% Drop in cost per acquired student lead
  • ✨ Multi-stage email & retargeting nurture sequence
  • ✨ Max capacity enrollment filled 3 weeks early

🎯 Strategy & Execution

1

Seasonal Search & Intent Targeting

Aligned Google Search campaigns with key decision periods, targeting parent and student searches ("best private academy", "enrollment applications open").

2

Open Day & Prospectus Funnel

Designed a low-friction prospectus download landing page that captured parent emails for automated follow-up sequences and open day invitations.

3

Multi-Touch Social Retargeting

Ran video retargeting ads featuring alumni success stories, campus tours, and student testimonials to convert warm leads into submitted applications.
