Graduate emails

Outcome
With a four-week-long campaign window to test, iterate and succeed, we launched two split-tested undergraduate landing pages and one doctorate program-focused landing page. Prospective students who completed the contact form were then added to an A/B-tested email nurture sequence.

The undergraduate email sequence garnered an above-average open rate ranging from 41-50%, while the program overall showed healthy, scalable and repeatable cost-per-lead (CPL) values.
