Phase 1: Market Research and Analysis (2 Weeks)
We commenced the project by conducting in-depth market research to understand the IT training landscape and identify the preferences of potential students. This data was crucial in devising a precise strategy.
Phase 2: Facebook Advertising Campaign (6 Weeks)

We strategically divided the target audience into segments, including recent graduates, professionals seeking upskilling, and technology enthusiasts. We further segmented them based on interests, locations, and behaviors.

Budget Allocation:
Our team optimized budget allocation, ensuring that segments with higher conversion rates received more significant budget shares.
