The real challenges

What makes Education & Courses marketing different.

01

Long enrolment decision cycles

Education decisions — especially postgraduate and professional qualifications — can take 6–12 months from awareness to enrolment. Long-form nurture sequences are essential.

02

Audience segmentation complexity

School leavers, career changers, upskilling professionals, and international students all have completely different motivations, objections, and optimal channels.

03

Regulatory requirements

Advertising for financial products attached to education (student loans, income share agreements) has specific regulatory requirements. Some course claims also require substantiation.

04

Conversion from enquiry to enrolment

Generating enquiries is only half the battle. The handoff from marketing to admissions is where most enrolment conversions are won or lost.
