  • Generation of Spam Leads:
    The client’s Facebook ad campaigns have been plagued by the generation of numerous spam leads, which, unfortunately, do not translate into genuine inquiries or meaningful applications.

Strategy and approach

We conducted market research to better understand college students, refined targeting, and overhauled ad creatives for improved engagement. Additionally, we created a comprehensive digital brochure for interested applicants, showcasing courses offered, tuition fees, semestral starts, student’s life inside the college and more. We also enhanced lead forms landing pages in the website to reduce spam and boost inquiry/application quality, resulting in more effective Facebook ad campaigns.
