Challenges

Two primary challenges the brand was facing:

  • Stagnancy in admission applications over both cycles, which led to roughly the same number of admissions every admission cycle.
  • Brand not known beyond Delhi NCR and UP state.
Approach with Actions
  • To acquire more leads, the first approach is to go dense in our advertising in the Delhi NCR region to strengthen our position and not miss out on a single opportunity to be digitally present. This was achieved by negating non-related audiences which let us increase the frequency of ads with targeted audiences under the same budget.
  • To acquire more leads from virgin territories we segmented keywords into different phase types and separate campaigns in Google Adwords. Different audience segmentation in Meta and focused graduates with no post-graduation on LinkedIn. For every segment, we had a couple of campaigns for detailed learning and respective actions.
  • Detailed Competition communication mapping also helped to make our communication more effective with raised CTR.
Marketing channels used
  • Specific Targeting via Google Adwords, Meta, and LinkedIn.
  • Education Affiliates.
  • Programmatic Media buying on look-a-like audience
