Our Digital Marketing Strategy for ALA Language School

About The Client

ALA is a leading English language school in Bangkok, attracting international students from across the globe. The school offers a range of high-quality programs, including General English, IELTS preparation, and Cambridge Exam courses.

ALA’s mission is to open global doors for its students through English fluency, blending academic rigor with an unforgettable cultural experience in one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.

The Challenge

Even with exceptional teaching and facilities, ALA was struggling to cut through the noise of the crowded international education market. Their digital presence failed to connect them with the right students, leading to high advertising costs and a pipeline of inconsistent inquiries. This meant their brand, a symbol of quality in person, was invisible where prospective students were actively searching for their future.

Their core challenges included:

  • Intense market competition from hundreds of other schools.
  • Prohibitively high advertising costs that delivered poor ROI.
  • An unreliable system for generating qualified student leads.
  • Limited brand visibility in key international source markets.

Our Strategy

We developed a cohesive, multi-channel strategy designed to attract high-intent students and convert that interest into enrolment, combining long-term SEO visibility with the immediacy of paid campaigns. Together, these channels created a self-reinforcing funnel, building awareness on social media, capturing discovery through search, and driving conversion with precision-targeted ads.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

We built a strong organic foundation to attract students actively researching their options:

  • Authoritative Content We created in-depth guides answering critical student questions on visas, life in Thailand, and course selection, establishing ALA as a trusted resource.

  • High-Intent Keyword Targeting We focused on specific terms that signal enrolment intent, connecting with students at the crucial decision-making stage.

We launched targeted campaigns to capture immediate interest from a global audience:

  • Precision Global Targeting Campaigns were focused on key source countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Japan, so budget was spent on the most promising markets.

  • Value-Driven Ad Copy Our ads highlighted ALA’s unique selling points (accreditations, course outcomes, and student life) to stand out in a crowded space.

We leveraged social platforms to build community and generate high-quality leads:

  • Targeted Lead Generation Engaging video testimonials on Facebook and Instagram drove inquiries directly from the platforms.

  • Advanced Audience Building Using lookalike audiences, we reached prospects with profiles similar to past successful applicants, dramatically improving lead quality.

The Results -
Wins And Obstacles

The primary obstacle was overcoming the extreme cost of advertising in international education. By creating a balanced, cost-efficient funnel, we replaced volatility with predictability and high expense with exponential growth.

The results redefined the school’s growth trajectory:

  • Reduced the Cost Per Lead by more than half.
  • Increased qualified leads by over 4x.
  • Tripled total student enrolments.
  • Nearly tripled organic website traffic.

This campaign transformed ALA’s marketing from an expense into a powerful and predictable mechanism for business growth.
