Performance-focused content marketing for an international education group

As Content Marketing Specialist at MOD Group, I led content, SEO, and lead generation for a group of international education brands, growing their search visibility and turning website visitors into qualified leads.

The challenge

Several education brands, one digital presence to build.

MOD Group operates a family of brands in Nigeria's international education sector, covering admission placement, a sixth-form college, an IELTS test centre, and career counselling. Each brand had its own website and its own audience, but a thin digital presence and no consistent engine for turning interest into leads.

The work was to build that engine: content that ranked and resonated, search visibility every brand could rely on, and a lead generation system that gave the business a steady flow of marketing-qualified leads.

The approach

Content and SEO built around real demand.

I built a content marketing strategy grounded in research, then executed it through the group's websites, social channels, and email.

01

Researched the market and the sector

I researched competitors and the latest trends in the international education sector, so the content strategy was built on what prospective students and families were actually searching for and worried about.

02

Built the content marketing strategy

I developed and implemented a content marketing strategy focused on international education and counselling, giving the group's brands a consistent, audience-led approach to content.

03

Wrote and optimized content for every brand

I wrote and published educational articles and sales pages on the group's websites, including MOD Education, Westerfield College, the IELTS centre, and Degrees & Careers, and applied SEO best practices so each site ranked better and drew more search traffic.

04

Grew the social channels

I strengthened the group's social media presence with audience-specific posts and targeted sponsored ads, growing the online communities and the engagement around them.

05

Ran email marketing

I wrote campaign copy and managed email marketing drips that kept prospective students engaged and moving toward enrolment, sustaining contact well beyond the first website visit.

06

Generated qualified leads

I created white papers and led lead generation campaigns through managed channels, building a steady, measurable flow of marketing-qualified leads for the business.
