What we did

Three jobs, run end to end.

The instructor kept teaching. We ran the business around the course, inside their own accounts.

01

Get found

  • LinkedIn posts, carousels and clips in the instructor's voice
  • YouTube videos, all from about an hour of their time a week
  • Free sessions, launch dates and early sign-ups that pushed the course up Maven's trending list
02

Turn interest into students

  • A clear promise, the right price and proof on the course page
  • Launch emails, waitlists and free guides
  • Ads judged by students enrolled, not clicks
03

Grow revenue

  • A revenue target for every cohort
  • A weekly look at the numbers and a plan before each launch
  • A new bootcamp so the same audience could buy again (see that case)
