Key Creative Deliverables & Digital Platforms:

We shot professional video interviews and B roll with four current students and the business owner, Mike.

Plus we used a host of PADI supplied underwater footage for the films.

We designed and built a leads page & kicked off the lead generation campaign in December 2024 on Meta & TikTok.

After just three months, we had recruited 6 new students for the course. The internet marketing campaign bought in revenue of almost $170k for the business, which was a ROI of 16:1 !
