Nexford University Case Study

The Challenge

Nexford was established to provide online only MBA/BBA courses aimed at mostly developing markets and lower-income audiences in developed markets

I was hired to help launch their brand into multiple new territories, to test acquisition channels including FB/IG; Google Ads (Search/Display); set up their Lifecycle Marketing activities for nurture, onboarding and ongoing course specific communications; and a focus on Conversion Rate Optimization and SEO / Content Marketing.

The Process

We launched into 6 test territories - US, UK, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand and Philippines.
Through the course of testing we successfully devised territory specific user journeys, optimising from top to bottom of funnel and establishing baseline acquisition metrics ready to scale up and replicate in new territories.

The Solution

From a typical cost per application (CPL), of over $200 and an application-to-enrollment rate of 5%, we reduced CPL down to ~$40 blended and increased the application-to-enrollment rate to ~15%, therefore improving quality and reducing costs dramatically. We established the playbook that was then replicated globally.
I was also responsible for pushing the establishment of academic recruitment best practice, including a scholarship program.
Despite intense competition in this space, through technical improvements and content generation, I also managed to improve organic traffic from almost nothing to 12k clicks per month within 6 months.

Bellissimo Custom Hats

Bellissimo is one of our flagship clients as we like mutually like to say : we scaled together.

Their online store capped sales as their only traffic source was Facebook advertising for a sustainably long time. When we started working with Bellissimo in 2020, our team set up their email marketing infrastructure. Over the last 2 years we have expanded our ecosystem to include: Influencer Marketing (now collaborating with celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather and Jamie Foxx), text marketing, social media marketing, and a website revamp complete with hat customization tool.

Bellissimo now sees sustainable increase month over month. This year Bellissimo is seeing 160% more revenue than last year.

Key achievements:

• Influencer marketing strategy and partnerships facilitated in the fashion, sports and entertainment industry: Steve Aoki, Floyd Mayweather, Snoop Dogg Jamie Foxx, Mr. Mature

• 0 to 150k organic monthly impressions on Pinterest within 6 months

• 26k engaged Instagram followers

• created a targeted fan group and grew it to 1k members in one month, now at 3k members; the results have been overwhelming: group members share great content (ie. wearing the brand's products), this "feeding us content" which in return is bringing continuous growth; we also started to monetize the group and gain direct Shopify sales from group members

• Created an automated way to receive customer tags, photos and videos. Now, about 50% of our content is generated by other users which means we get extra reach and impressions without added effort.
