Case study

Driving student enrollments through a high-converting landing page experience

Company

OPEN UNIVERSITIES AUSTRALIA
We partnered with OUA to launch a high-converting landing page tailored for paid ad traffic. By aligning user intent with a personalised quiz experience, we transformed drop-offs into engagement—driving a significant uplift in course interest and conversions.
The problem

With the launch of a new semester of online courses, OUA identified a key opportunity: helping prospective students easily navigate their options and find a course that suits them for the new school year.

While OUA was investing in paid media ads and driving traffic, users were not converting when clicking through to the homepage. Insight: there was a disconnect between user intent and the homepage experience upon landing. The homepage was too broad, failing to guide users who had arrived with specific motivations or interests sparked by targeted ads.
