# Kristiania University College: A Success Story

Kristiania's tale is a solid nod to the muscle of analytics in shaping the future of edu-marketing. It drives home the point that a well-crafted brand story, backed by data, can indeed move mountains.

Back in 2022, while Norway's educational scene was navigating a tricky 12% dip in student sign-ups, Kristiania University College stood out. With an eye on the prize of becoming the go-to professional university in Norway by 2030, they turned to cutting-edge data analytics, teaming up with Analytical Alley and Knowit.

Shedding its old name for the catchy 'Kristiania,' the university embarked on a quest to cut through the educational marketing clutter. Their goal was to elevate the brand's profile and make their courses more appealing to potential students.

We devised a shrewd plan for growth that wouldn't send their media spending through the roof. Kristiania kicked off their promotions early, stepping ahead while others were still in the planning phase.

## Breaking down the results:

- A notable 19% surge in student applications, which meant welcoming 4,921 new students, sailing past their enrollment goals.
- A striking 47% increase in media profitability, jumping from 5.4 to 8 applicants per 10k NOK invested.
- A remarkable 48% uptick in application conversion rates.
- A 21% increase in brand awareness, boosting Kristiania's visibility and appeal.
