We helped ESADE, one of the top international business schools, attract national and international students through an innovative Performance Media strategy, selected in the Google Premier Awards.

ESADE, one of the top international business schools, came to Runroom with a clear need: to integrate their recruitment campaigns into a single provider to improve their results and make the digital channel the main attraction channel.
Since 2011, we have been helping ESADE attract national and international students through an innovative Performance Media strategy and have been ESADE's partner in Analytics, SEO, UX, and the creation of digital channels and experiences, ensuring a 360º experience in the digital environment.
In recent years, ESADE has faced the challenge of strengthening its position as a brand internationally against strong competitors in the market. One of the school's main challenges was to increase its digital presence and improve the performance of its video campaigns. Additionally, as a specific challenge, the business school wanted to increase the view rate and reduce the CPV.
To begin, we got to work alongside the branding studio Firma, responsible for ESADE's brand strategy, to gain an in-depth understanding of the institution, its reality as a platform for training and innovation, and the target audience. Thus, we defined a strategy of search engine campaigns that achieved a sustained conversion improvement over time.
The constant optimization of both the campaigns and the usability of the recruitment channels has allowed us to achieve the objectives defined by the client: increase the conversion rate and optimize the cost per acquisition at a double-digit annual rate.

An Awards Strategy
The Performance Media strategy for ESADE was shortlisted for two consecutive years in the prestigious Google Premier Partner Awards, in 2017 in the Search Innovation category, as the only Spanish company in this category, and in 2018 in the Video Innovation category.Thanks to the final campaign, ESADE grew in brand awareness against its competitors, and the Brand Interest study revealed that the school achieved a 62.8% increase in interest in brand keyword searches after viewing the video.After many projects developed together, we have established a relationship based on professionalism and trust, sharing one value above all: the priority of people as the heritage of both companies.
This relationship has led ESADE's marketing department to entrust us with the
consulting of their organizational change
and the creation of digital platforms for the institution and for different business units. To delve into ESADE's digital transformation experience, you can
