Business challenge

After scaling back Telegram Ads, we needed to maintain media reach while keeping acquisition costs within plan.

What needed to change

Find a replacement channel, keep the ad spend-to-revenue ratio at the planned 30% and improve the quality of leads for programming courses.

  1. Changed the media channel

    Moved part of the reach objective to smart TV advertising through Yandex Direct.

  2. Produced a one-minute video

    Used a video featuring the product's founder to explain the course's value in their own voice.

  3. Added a tracked QR code

    Made visits measurable and linked views to subsequent applications.

Media reach was maintained, lead quality improved by 30%, and the ad spend-to-revenue ratio stayed at the planned 30%.
