GoEast Mandarin is a top Chinese language school, online and in Shanghai — with effective and fun teaching. I studied there, but felt that their communication lacked behind the quality of their teaching, and looked all the same as all language schools in Shanghai.
My time was primarily spend on three things:
- Optimizing existing assets (mainly websites and promotion items on-campus: new visual identity, easier to use, quicker to schedule a class, etcetera)
- More traffic to website (PR campaigns & SEO & content creation)
- A new strategy for the online platform (ongoing)
Old website:
Old documentation:
Old separation between self-learning course & live teachers:
Old online learning tool:
Early 2019, a new identity was designed and a new website was developed, which was hosted (and thus faster) in mainland China, as well as placements on websites such as GoOverseas.
New online learning tool:
New promotion materials:
Dozens of WeChat posts (among other social media):
Struck partnerships with several expat brands, including Burger King China, Sherpa’s and Ni Hao Italy, as well as NGO’s like Make-a-Wish Shanghai.
Articles on websites like ThatsMag Shanghai.
Promotion of our event on ThatsMag (visible enough?).
