Our Approach
Students Search for the Career, Not the School.
People considering trade school usually start with the job they want: becoming an electrician, welder, HVAC technician, medical assistant, truck driver or cosmetologist. They want to know how long training takes, what it costs, whether financial aid is available and what they can earn afterwards.
We build campaigns for each program and career path, targeted to the areas your campuses serve, with landing pages that answer those questions clearly and invite a campus tour or information session. Meta and YouTube campaigns show hands-on training, instructors and graduate stories to reach people who have not yet started searching.
Education advertising carries rules on claims about jobs and earnings, so copy stays accurate. Inquiries, tours and applications are tracked by program, and start dates are built into the budget calendar.

Can we mention salaries in our ads?
Claims about earnings and job placement are sensitive and regulated. We keep any figures accurate, sourced and within platform and education rules.
Can you run campaigns for several campuses?
Yes. Each campus gets its own targeting and budget.
Which platform finds the most students?
