When FreshGrade launched their progressive EdTech learning platform, Fraser was tasked with generating demand and adoption across North America.
Spoiler, Fraser's full funnel approach led extraordinary growth, surpassing 80% adoption in Canadian school districts!
FreshGrade is a digital solution for the classroom. It enables teachers, students and parents to share an online space that highlights the student work. The teachers create lessons and add resources, curriculum standards, and assessments—then watch them all populate to student portfolios, a gradebook, and the class feed.
FreshGrade is well adopted (80%) in Canadian school districts, one of Fraser's primary objectives was to drive US-based school adoption.
Fraser developed a strategy that first considered the tools, processes, and people within the business and department. The strategy evaluated the competitors, broke down the digital landscape, defined the target audience (region & persona) and leveraged digital funnels.
The strategy also included a breakdown of the budget and included KPI's and target ROI's attached to each initiative. Beginning top-of-funnel prospecting (driving leads into the funnel), the strategy outlined steps along the entire customer journey - nurturing, conversion, and retention were all tactically outlined across the entire digital landscape.
