Client Overview

Cognify Learning offers a game-based learning app for children. They needed to quickly build brand awareness and drive downloads among parents.

The Problem

The brand was struggling to gain traction in the crowded EdTech app market. Their messaging was not effectively communicating the educational benefits and fun aspects of their app to parents.

Our Strategy

We launched a two-pronged strategy: 1) Paid social campaigns on Meta and TikTok targeting parents with interests in education and child development. 2) An influencer marketing campaign partnering with trusted parent bloggers and family content creators to provide authentic reviews and testimonials.

Execution

The paid social ads featured videos of children engaging with the app and testimonials from educators. The influencer campaign involved 30+ creators who were given full access to the app to create genuine content for their followers. A referral program was implemented through the influencers to track downloads.

The Results

The integrated campaign helped the app reach over 1 million users in its first year. The cost per install from influencer marketing was 50% lower than from traditional ads. The brand was featured in several "Top Educational Apps" lists due to the positive buzz.

AI-Generated Outcome Summary

Cognify Learning successfully increased brand awareness and app downloads through an integrated paid social and influencer marketing campaign. The app reached over 1 million users in its first year, with influencer marketing proving more cost-effective than traditional ads and driving positive brand recognition.
