UNIVERSITY OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) is a public university in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, and the only university in the province.

To improve brand awareness and increase student leads, UPEI needed a strategic digital marketing campaign hyper-focused on their target audience.

CHALLENGES

  • Lack of understanding around core differentiators and the unique selling proposition of UPEI
  • Poorly timed messaging and personalization in existing media strategy
  • Competitive, Eastern Canadian market for high school students
  • Limited awareness and brand exposure among target audience 

THE PLAN

  • Extend current digital advertising for a generic creative asset to continue to build awareness into early Fall 2021
  • Increase brand awareness and engage the target audience in the domestic market through a series of time-sensitive, personalized messages across a variety of channels
  • Increase inquiries, click-activity, and website traffic in order to build out a prospect pool for re-targeting and CRM/recruiter support
  • Aggressively retarget engaged prospects with highly personalized messaging through a multi-channel/multi-device approach

RESULTS

"I've seen an increase in engagement with our website and an increase in the number of leads. After working with Glacier, our growth rate went from -2.7 YOY to +112.8 YOY in May. this didn't happen overnight, but as soon as we started the campaign I saw a steady increase in the number of leads, and growth rate went from negative to positive to triple digits in a few months."
