Goal: Increase awareness and enrollment in ESC Region 13’s Behavior Coach Endorsement Program by educating school leaders and driving them to program information.
Strategy: Use a coordinated mix of educational content, email, social media, and paid advertising to build awareness, answer common questions, and encourage enrollment.
Creating Demand Through Content
I developed and promoted content designed to introduce school leaders to the role of a behavior coach and create interest in the Behavior Coach Endorsement Program.
A key piece of the campaign was the blog post “What Does a School Behavior Coach Do?”, which generated a 9.26% conversion rate from the blog to the program landing page during the campaign period.
I then extended the campaign across:
Blog content
Organic social posts
Campus Leadership Newsletter
Behavior Brief Newsletter
Stand-alone email campaigns
Facebook advertising
Paid Social
I focused the campaign on how the Behavior Coach Endorsement Program could help educators develop strategies to address challenging student behaviors. I collaborated with our video team to create the promotional video and targeted teachers, administrators, and other education professionals who could benefit from the program.
The Meta ad performed exceptionally well in raising awareness among the target audience.
