HubSpot Inbound Marketing.
We assisted Pine Crest School implement their digital and inbound marketing lead generating campaigns for admission and summer programs. Landing pages generated 6,706 leads through downloading the summer program brochure. Admission generated 871 leads for downloading the application checklist. The chatbot gained new leads and helped families receive answers to their questions faster helping over 450 individuals with their HubSpot Knowledge Base.
Through the implementation of landing pages, such as the 2019 Summer Brochure premium download, the 6,706 leads provides the school the flexibility and engagement to grow their programs, while leaving HubSpot to collect information to plan future programs and successfully forecast demand.
The chatbot, as seen on the admissions home page, provides answers, while also collecting leads and information regarding missing information for potential families. Automating answers through a bolstered HubSpot Knowledge Database gives the team more time to answer and tend to important parental concerns and questions, while leaving commonly asked questions to the chatbot. Further using the data from parents can help to shape ongoing developmental strategies and programs to serve your community and students.

Campaign Themes & Fundraising.
Together we developed the School's campaign themes "Imagine the Possibilities" and "Future Ready" to attract new families and raise donations for the school.
In 2018-19 School year, our strategy for the #GivingTuesday campaign raised $1.5M for the school in 24-hours. By marrying storytelling, community engagement, and social media strategies the marketing communications and development teams worked together to combine small donations with a large donor match to start the annual fund off with a boost before the holiday season began.
As a member of the team that revolutionized fundraising, by expanding beyond traditional fundraising, we used innovative social media strategies. By enhancing the ability of video, commonality, and storytelling, through alumni, student and faculty Interviews, we leveraged community, hype and duty to stakeholders in the Pine Crest School community. The 24-Hour Virtual Campaign built trust and teamwork, being that all individual donations were then matched by 3 members of the Pine Crest Board.
