We were hired by Lincoln College to manage its paid marketing activities on social media, which included: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Snapchat. We were also support Lincoln College with regular organic social media posting on Twitter and LinkedIn – this was to support its paid marketing efforts. Lincoln College had run paid marketing campaigns previously but required an agency to apply time to the campaigns as required to gain maximum ROI. Additionally, it wanted to ensure that we were able to accurately measure and track the results from its campaigns and all goals completions. (Image credit: Lincoln College) We devised a structured digital marketing strategy for paid advertising on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Snapchat, with a plan of upcoming campaigns throughout the school year. This allowed us to create the campaigns at the right time on each channel and optimise accordingly. Our approach to showcasing the college’s portfolio of courses has allowed us to share a range of new courses as well as the transition from college open days to virtual open days. We support the college by helping it with all upcoming events through Eventbrite management, building landing pages and creating campaigns to raise awareness and drive online bookings. Additionally, students are not the only audience Lincoln College are targeting, we also support its business services and apprenticeship schemes to engage with local businesses in the area to increase the number of apprenticeships across Lincoln, Newark and Gainsborough.
