Helping a Dubai Edtech Expand Across the UAE with Digital Marketing

Client Overview

Our client, a growing Edtech company based in Dubai, UAE, had built a strong presence in the city, offering online courses for students preparing for competitive exams and professional certifications. While they were performing well in Dubai, they aimed to expand their reach across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other Emirates.

To achieve their goal of attracting students nationwide and increasing enrolments from across the country, they sought the expertise of our digital marketing agency to scale their online operations, boost brand visibility, and optimize conversions.
