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.

• Very competitive market
• Unique audience - Masters in the fields of science with experience in this area
• Paid courses (vs courses for free on the net)
• Dynamic content (according to market's request)
• Targeted audience which isn't aware of the value of these courses
