Making English Proficiency Aspirational

Project Overview

Challenge:
ETS wanted to introduce the TOEFL Olympiad in India—a new initiative targeting Gen Z students aspiring to study abroad. The objective: drive mass awareness, create demand, and convert signups in a price-sensitive yet highly digital-first market.

We launched a full-funnel performance campaign that blended cultural relevance with tech-led personalization:

  • Meta + Google: Interest & intent targeting to attract high-potential students
  • Influencer & Affiliate Ecosystem: Partnered with trusted voices in the education space
  • Gamified Campaign Assets: AR-led engagement, digital murals, and study playlists to stay top of mind
  • Remarketing & Email Flows: Trigger-based automation to nurture and convert

Execution Highlights:

  • Multi-platform reach: Meta, YouTube, Google Display, Affiliates, Influencers
  • Designed webinars, quizzes, and immersive content tailored for Gen Z learners
  • Created regional targeting models to optimize CPL and maximize engagement
