Our client is an online school of psychological growth from Kyiv, offering author-designed courses on self-discovery and emotional intelligence development. The main sales channel is online. The target audience consists of women aged 25–45 living in Ukraine.

Goals and Objectives

  • Generate 200+ leads within 30 days
  • Reduce cost per lead (CPL) to $3.5
  • Increase brand awareness on Instagram
  • Boost website conversion rate from 1.9% to 3%+

What Our Specialists Did

  • Created unique landing pages for each course
  • Configured Meta Pixel and tracked key events (Lead, Purchase)
  • Split campaigns into upper and lower funnel stages

2. Creatives and Copywriting

  • Developed 6 videos and 10 banners

  • Launched Instagram Stories with clear call-to-actions

3. Optimization

  • Ran A/B testing for audiences (Lookalike 1%, Interests, Competitor followers)
  • Regularly turned off underperforming ad sets
  • Launched retargeting campaigns for users who visited the website but didn’t submit a form

Challenges Faced

  • Ad creatives burned out quickly — required refreshing every 5–7 days
  • Instagram limited reach due to high competition in the niche
  • Part of the traffic was cold — enhanced the sales funnel via email and Telegram

Insights and Key Takeaways

  • Female audience 25–34 responds best to story formats and video creatives
  • Segmentation by pain points works better than by interests
  • Retargeting delivers up to 30% of all leads — never skip it
