Why Higher Education Institutions Need Digital Marketing

One of the most complex decisions a student has to make is where they will receive their post-secondary education. After all, post-secondary education is a major investment. 

It can be easy for an institution to rely on its reputation to receive applications, but the most effective way for colleges and universities to grab prospective students’ attention is to use digital marketing strategies. 

Paid advertisements create opportunities for higher education institutions to promote their best qualities - showcasing world-class programs, information sessions, and unique opportunities -  in a way that’s accessible and relatable. Building strong social media and website pages is key to showing that your institution cares about connecting with potential students on a personal level. Being present on these platforms also makes it easier for students to access essential information about your institution.

Our Process

Noetic Marketer’s team can create effective marketing strategies tailored to your higher education institution’s brand and intended audience through our process:

 
1. Discovery

Our discovery session is an opportunity to understand your higher education institution’s brand and enrollment goals. Tell us about your objectives, budget, and vision for your university or college, and we will let you know if and how we can help. Our discovery session will help us determine if our agency is a good fit for your institution.


2. Audit & Analysis

Our team conducts a thorough audit and analysis of your current digital marketing efforts. We then research competitors, industry trends, keywords, and more to map the funnel. We also develop personas for the audiences you are looking to target through digital marketing. These personas help us build an audience for your pay-per-click ads and the branding and personality that best fits your institution. In this stage, we determine where the opportunities are for future digital marketing campaigns.


3. Strategy development

Together, we will devise marketing strategies to help attain and surpass your enrollment goals, event attendance, and more.


4. Asset Creation

Our team develops the content needed to make your strategy a success. We are experienced in writing ad copy, creating landing pages, designing visual advertisements, launching chatbots, writing search-engine-optimized content, analyzing your data, gathering insights from your previous campaigns, and more.


5. Implementation

Ready... Set... Launch! At this stage, we prepare campaigns for execution. Our research, strategy development, and asset creation generate the ideal platform for launching your campaigns. All assets at this stage have been reviewed and approved by you and your team.


6. Monitoring

Our team continually monitors the performance of all running campaigns. Every week, comprehensive paid ads reports are sent to all clients.

7. Optimization

Our team uses in-depth data analysis to continually improve your campaigns. A/B tests are finalized in this stage, and campaigns are scaled. The final four steps in our process repeat, in order, to consistently enhance your sustainable marketing strategy!

Digital Marketing Campaigns that Bring Results!

“Noetic Marketer has been a joy to work with! They are professional, responsive and hard-working. We have a lot of experience working with marketing companies but we can confidently say that this has been our best experience to date. All their work is of extremely high quality and done accordingly to agreed deadlines.

In terms of paid advertising, our private career college Alpha Learning Centre is confident in trusting them with our advertising dollars because they put every dollar to good use. Not only that but they give accurate real time reports in a user-friendly form which is great for the people on our team that are unable to understand complex Facebook back-end jargon.

We recently commissioned them to build our landing pages. We are very impressed by the refreshing designs and their attention to detail. They will also be building our website. We are excited to see the results.

As a result of their paid ads and and web design efforts we were able to meet our quota for new students for our September 2021 cohort. We look forward to working with them in the future to continue growing our brand. I’m the Director of Marketing and Communications at the Telfer School of Management, uOttawa and Noetic Marketer has helped to run our paid ads at the school. They always do an excellent job. I highly recommend this team. They always go above and beyond.”
