Result

4.4×

enrollment growth since 2019

The challenge

Parents choose an after-school program slowly, and mostly on trust. The brand had to show what changes in a child, not just list the classes.

What I did

Built the brand. I've been the only marketer since 2019. I created the brand identity and write the copy.

Retargeting and testing. Video and engagement campaigns build warm audiences, and conversion campaigns then target them. I test several copy hooks against the same visual to find the message that works.

Real students on screen. "Meet the student" posts, and "The Table Talks," a video series where four students discuss big questions.

Results

  • 4.4× enrollment growth since 2019
