Line Account
In the rapidly evolving world of digital communication, James Cook University Singapore (JCUS) recognized the potential of leveraging Line messenger, a popular platform in Thailand, to enhance their brand presence and engage effectively with prospective students.
Our agency, FMF, was tasked with developing a comprehensive strategy to not only increase brand awareness in the Thailand market but also to boost the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and ensure efficient utilization of digital advertising channels.
Line Account Creation and Branding
Initiating our strategy, we began with the registration of a Line official account for James Cook University Singapore, recognizing the importance of a direct and personalized communication channel.
This was followed by the development of a unique and visually appealing design for the account, aligning with JCUS's brand identity yet tailored to resonate with the Thai audience. The design elements were carefully chosen to reflect JCUS's commitment to academic excellence and global perspective.
Crafting an Interactive Experience: Developing a Rich Menu for JCUS on Line Messenger
As a cornerstone of our engagement strategy on Line for James Cook University Singapore (JCUS), we focused on the development of a Rich Menu.
This feature, pivotal in Line’s interface, offered a dynamic and interactive way to navigate the university's offerings, enhancing user experience and engagement.
Our approach to designing the Rich Menu was deeply rooted in understanding the user journey of prospective students. We crafted a menu that was not only visually appealing but also intuitive and informative. The design integrated JCUS’s branding elements with icons and text that resonated with the Thai market, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience.
Each button on the Rich Menu was thoughtfully placed to guide users effortlessly to the most sought-after information. Options ranged from course details and faculty introductions to admissions processes and campus life. This setup provided a quick and easy way for users to find exactly what they needed, fostering a deeper connection with JCUS.
The Rich Menu was continually refined based on user engagement and feedback. Analytics from Line provided insights into which menu items were most interacted with, allowing us to adjust the content and layout for maximum engagement and relevance.
The Rich Menu became an essential tool in our Line messenger strategy for JCUS, not only as a means of providing information but also as an interactive gateway that engaged potential students in a meaningful way. This innovative approach played a significant role in enhancing JCUS's brand presence and accessibility on Line, contributing significantly to the campaign's overall success."
Content Strategy and Post Design
With the foundation set, our focus shifted to crafting an effective content strategy. This involved developing a series of engaging and informative posts, designed to captivate and inform the audience about JCUS’s offerings.
The content was tailored to appeal to prospective students, highlighting the university's strengths, courses, and the unique opportunities available at JCUS. Each post was meticulously designed, blending eye-catching visuals with compelling narratives, ensuring high engagement levels.
Promotional Campaign and Subscriber Growth
A crucial aspect of our strategy was the promotional campaign aimed at growing the subscriber base. By harnessing a wealth of data and analytics, we launched a targeted advertising campaign on Line. This approach allowed us to reach a broader yet more specific audience, significantly increasing the account's subscriber mass.
The campaign was characterized by its strategic use of data, which guided the content and timing of each advertisement, maximizing impact and engagement.
SEO Optimization for Line Promotion
In line with our objectives, the campaign was also optimized for search engines, ensuring that online searches related to university choices in Singapore, international education opportunities, and specific course offerings at JCUS would lead potential students to our Line account.
