Higher Education — Additional Information
Overview
Higher Education marketing isn’t just “more leads.” It’s the right leads, at the right time (intakes), with the right intent, and a journey that converts efficiently while staying compliant. We work with universities and education providers to build acquisition systems that connect spend to enrolments — not just form fills.
Common problems we fix
High lead volume, low enrolment yield
Lead quality issues (wrong eligibility, low intent, poor fit)
Slow speed-to-lead and weak follow-up workflows
Disconnected reporting (marketing metrics don’t match admissions outcomes)
Creative fatigue and inconsistent messaging across intakes
Landing pages and forms causing drop-off on mobile
Our approach
1) Positioning and offer clarity
We tighten the message: who the programme is for, why now, and what the student should do next — aligned to each intake and course cluster.
2) Performance-led acquisition
We run structured testing across audiences, creative angles, and channel mix to find what consistently produces qualified demand.
3) Funnel and conversion optimisation
We design landing pages and forms to reduce friction, improve completion rates, and capture the right qualifying data upfront.
4) Lead quality and operational alignment
We align marketing with admissions operations: routing rules, speed-to-lead, scripts/next steps, and feedback loops so the funnel improves every week.
5) Measurement that matters
We implement tracking and reporting that maps: Spend → Leads → Qualified Leads → Offers → Enrolments.
What we can run end-to-end
Acquisition strategy by intake and course category
Paid ads build + optimisation (Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn)
Creative testing roadmap (angles, hooks, formats, iterations)
Landing pages + lead/eligibility forms
CRM integration + lead routing + SLA systems
Attribution, dashboards, and weekly performance reviews
Channels we typically use (dependent on your audience)
Meta (FB/IG): Scale + volume, strong creative testing
Google Search: High intent for course/location keywords
TikTok: Cost-efficient reach, strong for top-of-funnel interest
LinkedIn: Mature audiences, postgraduate/professional programmes
Reporting and KPIs (the ones we care about)
Cost per lead (CPL)
Qualified lead rate (QL%)
Contact rate + speed-to-lead performance
Cost per qualified lead (CPQL)
Offer rate and enrolment yield
Cost per enrolment / start (where data access allows)
Typical rollout (practical timeline)
Week 1: Audit + tracking checks + funnel review + strategy
Weeks 2–3: Launch campaigns + build landing/form improvements
Weeks 3–6: Structured testing cycles (creative, audiences, offers)
Ongoing: Weekly optimisation + admissions feedback loop + scaling winners
What we need from you
Programme/course details and intake priorities
Any eligibility constraints or target student profiles
Access to ad accounts, analytics, and CRM (or a point of contact)
A clear definition of “qualified” and your enrolment process
Compliance-first by design
We structure pre-qualification, wording, and data capture to support legitimate, academically motivated applicants and ensure the funnel doesn’t reward low-intent or inappropriate submissions.
