Enrolment campaigns built around intake dates

Education marketing runs on a calendar. The work is filling a specific intake with people who will actually enrol, then keeping the pipeline warm through a decision that takes weeks or months.

The provider that answers the practical questions first usually wins the enrolment.

Enquiries are cheap. Enrolments are the number.

An intake campaign that produces 400 enquiries and 12 enrolments has usually optimised for the wrong thing. Prospective students and parents compare several providers, ask questions, and often need reassurance about cost, recognition, timetable and outcomes before committing.

So we build the whole journey: campaigns that target intent rather than curiosity, course pages that answer the practical questions honestly, and follow-up sequences that keep you in the conversation right up to the enrolment deadline.

From clients in education and training

Sector-specific proof matters more than a generic five-star wall.

Questions we get asked

How far ahead should we start an intake campaign?

Six to ten weeks before the deadline for short courses; a full term or semester ahead for programs with a longer decision cycle and higher fees.

Can you market to international students?

We can support onshore-focused campaigns and enquiry handling. Offshore recruitment involves agent networks and jurisdiction-specific rules that need specialist input.

Do you handle open days?

Yes — registration campaigns, reminder sequences and post-event follow-up, which is usually where the enrolments actually come from.
