Success stories: how has mkt4edu / 4RevOps generated real results for its clients?
Red Balloon Case: how we turned paid media into real enrollments
Red Balloon, a renowned English school for children and teenagers, faced challenges related to the high costs per lead and per enrollment in its paid media campaigns, as well as the need to keep efficient customer service as it scaled its operations.
How did Red Balloon overcome challenges in attracting students?
Although recognized for the quality of its teaching, Red Balloon was looking to increase its student base through paid online media campaigns. The high costs per lead (CPL) and per enrollee (CPM) were big obstacles to efficient scalability, along with the concern of keeping quality of service as the number of students grew.
Strategies implemented to maximize student acquisition
To clear those hurdles, Red Balloon built a full plan with HubSpot at the middle of it, running the sales and marketing flows. Here is what we did:
- Campaign Optimization: Grouping of campaigns for better control and allocation of funds.
- Team Integration: we built flows that run on their own and tie marketing to sales, so word travels cleanly and less falls through.
- Real-time Dashboards: Use of HubSpot dashboards for continuous tracking and strategic decision-making.
- Email funnel: Development of a structured funnel for engaging leads at each stage of the customer journey.
- Task generation: Detailed tracking of actions and prioritization of key tasks.
What strategies helped Red Balloon reduce its cost per student acquisition?
The strategies implemented resulted in big improvements in 2024:
- 47.32% reduction in Cost per Lead (CPL): Efficiency in customer acquisition has increased substantially.
- 15.10% reduction in Cost Per Enrolled (CPM): Optimized campaigns have boosted financial efficiency.
- 24.45% Increase in Enrollments: There was a notable increase in the number of enrollments coming from interactions with online media.
- Resilience in Google Ads: Even with a 30% reduction in the budget, the channel kept the volume of enrollments almost stable, with a decrease of only 3%.
- Outstanding performance in Meta: Enrolments increased by 46.71%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the strategy adopted.
The numbers show what a well-built plan can do when you put tech, joined-up teams, and a close watch together. Red Balloon did more than beat its targets. It settled its place as the leader in teaching English to children and teens in Brazil.

ESPM case: how we optimized the student journey and increased student recruitment
ESPM, one of the top higher education schools in Brazil, was up against real trouble in how it talked to people and held its data. Both were dragging on how it ran and on what its students and candidates went through.
How did ESPM improve its student recruitment and retention?
ESPM was facing challenges in communicating with students and candidates due to decentralized processes, resulting in high response times, low retention and a fragmented experience. A more efficient and connected model was needed to improve the relationship with students and optimize the recruitment journey.
Strategies implemented to increase efficiency and student conversion
To overcome these challenges, ESPM adopted an integrated approach using HubSpot as the central platform, with the support of mkt4edu / 4RevOps. The main actions included:
- Sales and Service Automation: Implementation of automated flows to ensure that each contact got personalized communication via email, WhatsApp, calls or chat.
- Data Centralization: Integration of the Marketing, Relationship & Sales and Student Experience teams on a single platform, enabling a unified view of the student journey.
- Journey mapping: Data collection from lead sources to enrolled students, building automation workflows for conversion and nurturing.
- Development of Personalized Dashboards: Creation of dashboards for tracking campaign performance and tracking the business pipeline.
- Team training: Training the team to use HubSpot effectively, ensuring adaptation to new tools and processes.
What strategies improve student acquisition and retention?
The rollout of these strategies has brought big changes to ESPM, reflecting directly on student attraction and retention.
- 92% increase in organic leads: Optimization of the student journey and business pipeline resulted in a big increase in organic leads.
- Resolution of 60,000 Student Tickets in 6 Months: Sales and service automation enabled the efficient resolution of a large volume of tickets, boosting student satisfaction.
- 15,000 Students Fully Served Through Automations: Automation ensured that a substantial number of students got complete and personalized service.
The numbers show what a well-built plan can do when you put tech, joined-up teams, and a close watch together. ESPM did more than clear its first hurdles. It lifted what its students and applicants go through, and settled its place as a leader in Brazilian education.
