About story
Vijay Patil School of Management (VPSM) Story

Vijay Patil School of Management (VPSM), a part of the prestigious D.Y. Patil University, is a leading business school offering world-class management education.

With an industry-focused curriculum, experienced faculty, and state-of-the-art infrastructure, VPSM aims to nurture future business leaders.

Despite its strong academic foundation, VPSM needed a strategic approach to enhance its digital presence and attract prospective students effectively.

To address this challenge, upGrowth was brought in to implement a robust Social Media Management Strategy that would amplify brand awareness, improve engagement, and drive student enrollments.

Identified Challenges

Although VPSM had a solid reputation in the education sector, it faced several digital marketing challenges:

Low Social Media Engagement: Existing content was not driving significant interactions or inquiries.

Limited Brand Awareness: VPSM needed a stronger online presence to compete with established business schools.

Attracting the Right Audience: Targeting prospective students and parents effectively required data-driven audience segmentation.

Content Strategy Gap: A lack of engaging and informative content led to lower reach and visibility.

The Challenge

Vijay Patil School of Management (VPSM) had a world-class infrastructure and faculty but lacked a digital identity that resonated with modern MBA aspirants. Their social channels were inactive, and lead generation costs were inefficient.

  • Low brand awareness among prospective students in key regions.
  • Inconsistent content strategy leading to negligible engagement.
  • Difficulty in converting social traffic into high-quality admission leads.

The Objective

Build a vibrant social community, showcase student life, and implement a data-driven ad strategy to maximize admissions.

The Social Transformation Strategy

Content Bucket System

Categorized content into ‘Campus Life’, ‘Faculty Insights’, and ‘Placement Success’ to ensure a balanced and engaging narrative for prospects.

02
Performance Ad Funnels

Launched Meta and Instagram Lead Ads with lookalike audiences, reaching aspirants who mirrored the profile of current top students.

03
Student-Centric Video

Leveraged Instagram Reels and video testimonials to provide an authentic look at the VPSM experience, significantly boosting organic reach.

04
Conversion Lead Nurturing

Implemented a remarketing strategy to re-engage students who interacted with campus life content but hadn’t yet applied.

Result:
Achieved a 400% engagement increase and reduced Cost-Per-Lead (CPL) by 50% in the first admissions cycle.

“The transformation in our digital storytelling has been incredible. upGrowth helped us bridge the gap between our physical excellence and our online persona, leading to a record-breaking year for admissions.”
