CASE STUDY: FINDING WAYS TO ENGAGE WITH STUDENTS

UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA

To get prospective students to enrol, the University of East Anglia needed to engage applicants in a way that made their courses feel irresistible and transform interest into action.

ENGAGEMENT TAKES CREATIVITY:

personalised video marketing became the channel of choice, because it’s a more engaging medium than direct mail – especially for teenagers.

ENGAGEMENT TAKES ORIGINALITY:

with limited time and budget, we leveraged existing videos to drive new value from these assets.

ENGAGEMENT TAKES INDIVIDUALITY:

by repurposing mass market content, the university could apply data-driven automated personalisation, right down to the individual level.

the outcome:

Across the 388 contacts in the UK-based audience, CTRs also rose above 21% and, more importantly, 29% of the international group went Firm/Insurance, while a full 52% of the UK group did so.
