Custom Content Development

Client:

University of Queensland (UQ)

Project type:

Editorial

Challenge:

The University of Queensland (UQ) understood that delivering SEO-optimised, student-centric content across various pillars was important. This content is crucial for enhancing brand visibility, fostering conversions, and nurturing student retention.

However, UQ faced difficulties in producing high-quality content efficiently. This shortfall hindered their ability to engage effectively with their audience, consequently missing opportunities to resonate with students and prospective students.

Project Outline:

Our mandate was to craft a series of 12 insightful articles that span the entirety of the student journey—from initial interest sparked by destination marketing to the culminating milestone of graduation. A key component of our approach involved conducting interviews with students to weave authentic experiences into the narrative of each article.

Strategy:

Our approach to creating tailored content for an international student audience is comprehensive, considering the content's placement, the envisioned outcomes, cultural nuances, SEO strategy, and much more. Here's a breakdown of our process:

Initial Consultation:

Engaging with UQ, we identified their key content themes, discussed content dissemination strategies (including potential repurposing for social media), outlined SEO priorities, confirmed the project timeline, and gathered student contacts for potential interviews, alongside any supplementary information necessary.

We agreed that we should create 4 modules for easier consumption.

Content Development Focus:

UQ expressed a specific interest in content that supports students post-arrival in Brisbane. Leveraging the information provided and our insights into popular search queries within this context, we conducted thorough SEO analysis tailored to our target demographics. We brainstormed various narrative angles and, after a collaborative review with UQ, finalised our article concepts.

Content Creation:

Armed with comprehensive briefs, our skilled writers, guided by our editorial team, crafted engaging articles. This process included conducting student interviews to add depth, relevance and authenticity to our content.

Finalisation and Publication:

The completed articles were submitted to UQ. After a meticulous review and draft process, the articles received approval and were subsequently published through UQ's channels.

This project underscores our commitment to creating impactful, student-oriented content that not only resonates with its intended audience but also significantly contributes to our client's marketing plan.
