Education Marketing Solutions That Drive Enrollment, Visibility & Community Trust

Helping schools grow through strategic, data-driven marketing.

The education landscape has never been more competitive. Families have more choices, attention spans are shorter, and schools of every size are fighting to stand out. Whether you’re a public school district, private institution, charter school, faith-based school, or higher-education program—your digital presence directly impacts enrollment, reputation, and long-term success.

At Sentinel Creative Group, we specialize in education marketing that blends strategy, creativity, and cross-channel execution. As a LocaliQ partner within the USA Today Network, we bring national technology with hyper-local targeting—helping schools connect with the right families at the right time.

Case Study: Cross-Media Campaign Boosts Enrollment for a Private Catholic School

A real example of how strategic, targeted marketing transformed one school’s future.

A small private Catholic school in Massachusetts faced declining enrollment, limited inquiries, and brand confusion after a similarly named school in the area closed. With fewer than five inquiries per month and a shrinking marketing budget, the school urgently needed to rebuild awareness and attract new families.

Our Strategy Included:

• Paid social campaigns to reintroduce the school to local families

• Creative A/B testing across static, carousel, and video ads

• Messaging that highlighted community values, faith-based education, and comprehensive offerings

• A custom-built LocaliQ landing page to improve inquiry conversion

• A simplified and highly optimized lead generation experience

• Ongoing campaign monitoring and optimization

Results:

• 4 new enrollments in the first month—up from zero

• Waitlists formed in multiple classrooms

• 1.95% CTR on social ads (well above the 1.2% industry benchmark)

• 10.18% CTR on search ads—nearly double the 6.41% industry average

• Increased awareness leading to “Top School” recognition in a local Best Of contest

• First-ever nomination for a prestigious regional award

These results demonstrate how even a small school with a modest budget can achieve remarkable outcomes through consistent, strategic marketing.
