Case Study

A Remote College in BC Becomes a Sought-After Study Abroad Destination among Indian Students

          

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Our client is a community college in the Northern British Columbia region. Despite having over 200 agents in the Indian market, it wasn’t able to recruit students from India for many years.

          

WHAT MSM DID

MSM was appointed as the college’s Country Office. We appointed a dedicated team of three who undertook the following important tasks:

* Reaching out to the right agents

* Identifying target cities

* Carrying out extensive brand promotions

The dedicated country office initiative was backed by a strong communication strategy.

The result was phenomenal. In a span of one year, we were able to recruit over 100 students. In two years’ time, it became one of the most popular destinations in British Columbia for Indian students.

Launching a Postgraduate Diploma in Gerontology

          
BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Our client is a community college in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. The college had just launched its Postgraduate Diploma in Gerontology.

          

WHAT MSM DID

MSM created a plan that targeted Indian nurses with good English language skills and who wished to pursue a postgraduate program in Canada. We implemented multidirectional marketing strategies to successfully recruit international students. The team was expanded to ensure that we reach and even exceed the requisite numbers.

MSM Insight

MSM experts believe that every program has a target audience in some parts of the world. It is unacceptable to us that any of your programs remain undersubscribed.

There is no reason for a program not to be filled to its maximum capacity. MSM operates on the principle that the solution lies in identifying the right markets and in executing aggressive awareness and promotional strategies.

It’s time to diversify your recruitment base and establish or expand your brand in the market, so prospects in every avenue of the country can learn of what you have to offer.
