The Challenge

The academy had unfilled seats across multiple certification courses each month. Previous ad campaigns yielded expensive enquiries (£18+ per lead) from people with no career intention.

High CPA of £18–£24 per enquiry with poor attendance on enrollment calls.
Lack of student financing and payment plan clarity on initial landing pages.
Low engagement on static graphic banner ads.
