What our clients say

“I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to StudyQA team who created and managed premium listing campaigns for me as well as vk.com social platform page. It was an absolute pleasure working with Sasha, Sofya and Elena. These ladies are very dedicated, personable and professional. For someone whose schedule is very busy, I was relieved to be able to outsource a significant part of SEO management and online promotion to StudyQ who were very diligent and prompt with weekly posts and updates, highly recommended!”

“We had started a campaign on StudyQA with the goal of reaching an audience present in Eastern Europe mainly in countries as Russia, Ukraine and those surrounding them. With the consistent support of StudyQA and regular exchange of ideas, the campaign has allowed us to understand the needs of students from the area, to better address them and attract them to our business school. Thanks to the campaign, we will be welcoming the first Ukranian student following a 3-year Bachelor degree and the first Ukranian student doing the MSc. in International Commerce & Digital Marketing. Last but not least, the platform is very user-friendly for us as well facilitating the contact and tracking of both prospects and candidates.”

Why Small Events?

A small meetup with 40-100 students is a highly convertible strategy to attract applicants to your academic programmes. It works best if you are coming to attend a fair and can stay for another day to invite students you met at the fair to your presentation and interact with other local students, who we have hand picked and pre-screened for you.

Market
Intelligence

Opening a new market or growing your presence in the existing one can be tricky not only because of the language, cultural differences and mentality, but because of shifts in economy, politics, cultural trends. Is the timing right to start expanding to Eurasia? Which programs will be of more interest to local students? Is there a market fit for Kazakhstan? Should we promote in Uzbekistan or concentrate on Ukraine? Which fairs should we attend? What our competitors are doing there?
Having worked on the local markets for 10 years now our team knows the specifics of the region, key stakeholders, student choice patterns, which are among the vital components in positioning of the university and its brand in the region.

  • Market fit, brand positioning
  • Designing tailored promotional and student recruitment strategy
  • Advice on fairs, student recruitment agents, local partners
  • Assessing and advising on current promotional strategy
  • Competitor analysis
