Admissions campaigns for educational institutions in the US

Choosing a school or a major is a months-long decision that involves the whole family. We design digital advertising for schools and universities that supports that journey: ads to discover the institution, content to compare options, and forms to schedule a visit or request information. We track applicants by program and campus. It’s education marketing on a calendar: we ramp up ads during enrollment season and adjust them the rest of the year.

Ads only during enrollment vs. an always-on campaign

Advertising only in the final week misses the people who have already decided.

Digital advertising for schools and universities FAQ

Can’t find your question?

Message an advisor and we’ll get back to you during business hours (Bogotá time, UTC-5).

Can I target ads to minors?

The platforms heavily restrict targeting minors. That’s why, for schools, ads target parents and guardians.

When should I start the campaign?

Ideally several months before enrollment closes, to build awareness before the decision.

How much does it cost to get an applicant?

It depends on the program, the city, and the competition; we measure it from the first month. Your ad spend is paid directly to the platform and is separate from our management fee.

How is this different from advertising for service businesses?

The cycle is seasonal and the decision involves several people, so the messaging and the calendar change completely.

What else is education advertising called?

Also known as education marketing, university advertising, student recruitment, or school advertising. It ties in with lead forms, cost per lead, landing pages, WhatsApp, and CRM, which we review with you when your project needs them.

Which of these services do you need?

For schools and universities: these services are related, but they solve different problems. Choose based on what you need.
