Michelle wanted to build a Podcast and Instagram community around learning the French language as an adult, as she was living in Paris and found it difficult to access easy resources which would help her acquire fluency faster. She particularly wanted to focus on high quality audio resources.

She wanted to spend $0 in paid marketing, and build the community organically.

During our initial analysis of the company we identified the following challenges:

• Lead Generation from Facebook Ads was incurring a high overall cost. However, the number of sign-ups and the click-through rate were not satisfactory;
• To improve quality scores and lower costs, we needed to create optimised landing pages but the website was a bespoke build and was extremely limited;
• A need to improve the number of conversions without increasing the budget due to constraints.

Beyond the overarching objectives, our main focus was with undergraduate and postgraduate student recruitment through ongoing campaigns, as well as advertising university courses, open days, postgraduate open evenings and Clearing.

Specific examples of objectives set by Leeds Beckett also included:

1) Supporting the university’s growth plans through targeted and effective campaigns

2) Growing the number of applications

3) Improving efficiencies and reducing costs in all paid channels
