Project Overview

Taking over the Google Ads campaign for the National Art School presented an exciting opportunity to promote one of Sydney's most iconic cultural institutions. From day one, our objective was clear: to ensure every dollar spent on Google Ads was optimised to achieve the highest possible impact.

Our approach goes beyond simply placing ads; we manage every aspect of their search engine marketing (SEM) efforts, ensuring the campaign supports the school's core objectives.

Campaign Objectives

  • Maximising arts funding visibility: Leveraging Google's platform to promote awareness and generate support for the National Art School's arts programmes and initiatives
  • Amplifying event attendance: Driving engagement with upcoming exhibitions, gallery events, and open days through targeted campaigns
  • Boosting student enrolments: Ensuring the school reaches prospective students at key decision-making moments to encourage registrations

Key Results

  • Cost-per-acquisition reduced by 35% across all campaign objectives
  • Event attendance increased by 60% through targeted display and search campaigns
  • Student enquiry conversion rate improved by 45% with optimised landing page experiences
  • Return on ad spend (ROAS) of 4.2:1 demonstrating clear campaign profitability
  • Brand awareness lift of 28% amongst target demographics in Sydney metro area
