Social & Digital Marketing

We build digital campaigns around your enrollment goals, using your data, market insights, targeted media, platform-native creative and continuous optimization to move prospective students from awareness to enrollment. As an OptEd partner, you get real time access and visibility into how each ad is performing across platforms within your own OptEd Hub dashboard.

Built Around Enrollment Goals

We start with the students you need to enroll, identify the right target audience, then define the geography, budget, timing, and channel mix needed to reach them.

Reach the Right Students

First-party data, prospect audiences, geographic targeting, retargeting and lookalike modeling help connect your programs with students most likely to take the next step.

Measure What Matters

We connect media performance to inquiry and application outcomes and, when institutional data allows, enrollment and cost per enrolled student.

Digital campaigns built around enrollment, not just clicks.

Enrollment goals and program priorities determine the strategy. Audience and channel mix determine who sees your campaigns and where. Creative and messaging give prospective students a reason to engage. Conversion tracking and ongoing optimization show what is working and where your budget should go next.

Enrollment & Media Strategy

Every campaign starts with the enrollment goal. We evaluate program priorities, enrollment targets, historical funnel performance, geography, timing and available budget to build a media strategy aligned with the institution’s enrollment calendar.

What’s Included

Audience Strategy

Your data tells us who has engaged, applied and enrolled before. We combine those insights with geographic, market and platform data to build audiences around the students you need to reach next.

What’s Included

Platform & Channel Mix

We determine the right mix of paid search, social and digital channels based on audience behavior, campaign objectives and enrollment goals. Budget is continually evaluated and shifted toward the channels and campaigns producing meaningful results.

What’s Included

Creative & Messaging

Effective campaigns need more than an attractive ad. We develop creative and messaging for specific audiences, programs, funnel stages and placements, then test variations to identify what drives action.

What’s Included

Custom Landing Pages & Microsites

Campaign performance depends on what happens after the click. We design focused landing pages and microsites around specific audiences, programs, and enrollment goals, creating a clear path from interest to action.

What’s Included

Conversion & Tracking

The experience after the click matters just as much as the ad. We connect campaigns to conversion paths designed to move prospective students toward the next step while building the tracking needed to understand campaign performance.

What’s Included

Performance & Optimization

A campaign report that stops at the click is missing the half that decides your budget. We continuously evaluate performance against enrollment goals and use the data to improve audiences, creative, messaging, channels and budget allocation.

Common Questions

Discover how we optimize education.

There is no one-size-fits-all platform mix. We recommend channels based on your enrollment goals, programs, audiences, geography, budget and historical performance. Strategies may include Google Search, Meta and other paid digital channels where they make sense.

Yes. We can manage campaign setup, launch, monitoring and optimization within your institution’s advertising accounts, helping you maintain ownership of your data, audiences and campaign history.

It depends on the campaign objective, audience, program and enrollment cycle. We begin monitoring performance as soon as campaigns launch, but meaningful optimization comes from evaluating trends over time rather than reacting to a few days of data.
