Overview
The Arbor School, Dubai, Al Furjan, is an English National Curriculum forward-thinking school with a particular emphasis on ecoliteracy, environmental justice, and sustainability. Being a greenfield site, a newly developing school when opening up, the challenge was not only to expand enrolments but also to establish credibility and profile from scratch.
NEXA was contracted to create and implement an end-to-end digital marketing program to fuel enrolments. This would entail web development and design, CRM integration, lead generation, paid media, content marketing, and campaign-based audience nurturing. All digital touchpoints were integrated into an all-encompassing ecosystem using HubSpot so that the school's internal team could monitor the path of each lead from interest to enrolment.
A robust content pipeline with e-brochures, blogs, infographics and gated landing pages, positioned The Arbor School as a values-led school with an innovative education philosophy. In a mere five months, the campaign generated more than 1,200 qualified leads and returned 34 times investment in first-year fees alone.
Building demand for a school still under construction
Objectives
Establish brand presence and quality enrolments for a new eco-specialist school in Dubai through an integrated digital strategy that included website, CRM, social, search and paid activity.
Challenges
Being a brand new, as-yet-to-be-built school, The Arbor School had to establish trust and create enrolments without going through doors, and fighting against established schools within a competitive market.
Solution
We created a full-funnel campaign on HubSpot to measure and improve each touchpoint. Content-driven lead generation was complemented with paid targeting, landing pages, and a new website, leading to actual enrolment and quantifiable ROI in a matter of months.

The NEXA team also worked closely with our in-house team during the transition to a new website, which can often be a tricky exercise. Thanks to the team, the transition was incredibly smooth and within a few weeks, we noticed even higher search traffic coming onto the website.
Overall we find the team very responsive and senior management actively involved in the process.
