How Get-To-Rev Helped ESLer Drive 150% Growth
in Enrollment of Asian Students in the U.S. and Canada

Get-To-Rev helped ESLer, an e-learning platform for English learners, grow student enrollments by targeting parents of Asian students through digital marketing strategies.

The mission

ESLer is an e-learning platform that provides interactive, online English courses aimed at helping Asian students in the U.S. and Canada improve their language skills. Their marketing needed to focus on reaching parents who are typically decision-makers for their children’s education.

ESLer needed a way to directly reach parents of Asian students who were interested in improving their children’s English proficiency but struggled with brand awareness and engagement. They lacked a comprehensive digital strategy to reach this key demographic and convert them into customers.

The work

Over the course of three months, Get-To-Rev’s tailored marketing strategy helped ESLer successfully reach parents of Asian students in the U.S. and Canada, significantly increasing enrollments. 

In the first month, Get-To-Rev launched AdWords campaigns, Facebook and Instagram ads, TikTok influencer collaborations, and sponsored Reddit posts. 

By the second month, YouTube ads were added to the mix, expanding ESLer’s reach and driving higher engagement. Continuous optimization of these campaigns through A/B testing and targeting adjustments resulted in a 150% increase in enrollments and a 200% boost in website traffic by the end of the third month. 

With ongoing collaboration, ESLer remains positioned for further growth, backed by data-driven marketing strategies.

Conclusion

Get-To-Rev’s focused digital marketing approach allowed ESLer to successfully reach parents of Asian students in North America. Through multi-channel campaigns, ESLer increased enrollments and established itself as a trusted brand for English Language education.

Ongoing Partnership: ESLer continues to work with Get-To-Rev for ongoing campaign optimization, ensuring that their marketing remains effective as they scale.

First Iteration

First Month: Roadmap Implementation

  • AdWords Campaign: Get-To-Rev designed search and display ads optimized to target searches from parents seeking English courses for their children, ensuring ESLer appeared as a top solution.

  • Facebook and Instagram Paid Ads: Creatives featured testimonials and stories of how ESLer helped students succeed in English, with ad copy directly appealing to parents’ desires for their children to excel academically. These ads were targeted specifically to parents in the U.S. and Canada.

  • TikTok Influencer Campaign:
    • Creative Production: While TikTok is more youth-focused, the Get-To-Rev creative team worked on videos that showcased student success, which could be shared by children with their parents. This helped raise awareness indirectly among decision-makers.

    • Influencer Recruitment: Get-To-Rev recruited a TikTok influencer whose content focused on education and family, ensuring the influencer resonated with both students and parents. The influencer demonstrated how ESLer can empower students to improve their English, making it easier for parents to see the platform’s benefits.

  • Reddit Sponsored Post Campaign: Reddit posts were placed in parent-focused subreddits and education communities, highlighting the educational benefits ESLer offers and directing traffic to the platform.

  • Continued Growth: The multi-channel marketing strategy continued to expand ESLer’s visibility among parents of Asian students, driving both traffic and enrollments. Creative improvements were made based on campaign data, and influencer engagement on TikTok was maintained to appeal to both students and their parents.
