B2C Advertising

GIIS Tokyo

Advertising Management for International School

GIIS Tokyo (Global Indian International School Tokyo) provides international school education from kindergarten through middle school in Tokyo. Primarily targeting parents with children in the Tokyo metropolitan area, especially areas closer to Chiba (Katsushika Ward, Edogawa Ward, etc.), they offer English-centered educational services.

Project Details

Since the Singapore advertising agency they had previously used failed to deliver expected results, they requested advertising management that would enable appropriate approaches to Japanese targets, aiming to increase leads and enrollment while reducing CPA (customer acquisition cost). Before the project, advertising operations targeting Japanese people were insufficient, directly impacting sales and enrollment numbers.

  • Lead quality improvement and strategy planning through close communication

Results

By combining Meta advertising management, creation and deployment of diverse banners, and close communication strategies to address the ineffective existing ad operations, we significantly increased leads and enrollment while halving the CPA. In particular, we made major contributions to effective approaches to Japanese targets and improvement in lead quality. The client gave high praise not only for advertising effectiveness but also for rapid responsiveness and high-quality proposals from a management perspective.
