Education & Coaching - Online Course Creator
About Digital Marketing Academy
Digital Marketing Academy is an online education platform offering comprehensive courses in digital marketing, SEO, social media, and paid advertising. Founded by David Martinez, a former marketing agency executive, the academy serves professionals looking to enhance their skills and career prospects. Before automation, they had approximately 1,200 active students across 8 different courses, with a small team managing all aspects of the business.
The Challenge: Low Completion Rates and Administrative Overload
Digital Marketing Academy was facing several challenges that were affecting student success and business growth: • Low course completion rates of only 25%, despite high-quality content • Manual student onboarding creating inconsistent first impressions • Limited ability to track student progress and provide timely support • Administrative team overwhelmed with routine student inquiries • Inconsistent follow-up for course graduates and potential upsells • Difficulty scaling operations as student numbers increased These challenges resulted in reduced student success, lower lifetime customer value, and operational inefficiencies. David knew that addressing these issues was crucial for the academy's reputation and growth.
