Industry Context & Client Background – A well-regarded design institute with strong local walk-in admissions was completely invisible online. Newer competitors with inferior programmes consistently outranked them. No organic digital following, no structured online funnel, entirely dependent on offline word-of-mouth.

⚠️ The Core Challenge

Zero digital inquiry pipeline

~90% of inquiries came from walk-ins. No ability to reach aspirants beyond a 20 km radius.

Dormant social media

Under 1,000 followers each on Instagram and Facebook with no consistent posting.

Keyword invisibility

Competitors occupied page 1 for all target terms. The institute did not appear in the top 10.

No student outcome content

Exceptional portfolios and strong placements existed but were never digitally showcased.

⚙️ How Magicworks Solved It

We took a brand-first approach: for a design institute, the quality of digital presentation is the primary sales pitch.

Brand identity overhaul

Redesigned all digital channels with a cohesive aesthetic — photography, colour palette, typography, and content templates.

Instagram content engine

Systematic content calendar featuring student portfolios, process videos, day-in-the-life reels, and placement announcements.

Meta lead generation

Awareness and lead gen ads targeting 18–25-year-olds with design and creative career interests.

YouTube pre-roll

Short video ads featuring student success stories targeting users who searched for design course terms.

Micro-influencer collaborations

Partnered with 6 regional design influencers (10K–100K followers) for authentic campus reviews.
