CHALLENGE

To increase student generation effectiveness despite challenging EDU industry headwinds, NCU needs an integrated strategy that incorporated best practices in paid search, paid social, display, landing page optimization, preadmissions and more.

STRATEGY

With extensive experience in profitable ROI campaigns for education, Level Agency has the in-house capabilities that NCU requires to stay ahead of their competitive set.

Maximizing advertising effectiveness with cross-device, multi-channel digital advertising

Elite paid search, industry-leading Facebook demand generation, and advanced programmatic display strategies make sure that the right audiences see the right NCU ads at the right time and for the right price.

Aggressive Landing Page Optimization program drives efficiency

Deployment of an advanced Landing Page Optimization (LPO) management platform allows Level to quickly deploy and iteratively test hundreds of different landing page versions across all consumer channels and devices. A systematic “test and learn” approach has more than doubled landing page conversion rates since launch.

Improved call center / preadmissions services drives better lead contact and transfer rates

Level Agency uses Pittsburgh and Phoenix preadmissions call centers to ensure near-instant speed-to-lead and best practices from a contact strategy standpoint. Since taking over, NCU has seen greater than a 25% improvement on transfer rates.
