Driving 70% higher quality leads with Google & LinkedIn Ads

Camu Digital Campus, a global SaaS EdTech platform, needed stronger paid campaigns to reach decision‑makers at universities and schools. I improved their Google Ads structure and upgraded LinkedIn targeting, creatives, and messaging. This produced higher‑quality leads, lowered cost per lead, and supported long‑term digital growth.

About Camu Digital Campus

Camu Digital Campus is a SaaS EdTech platform serving K‑12 schools and higher‑education institutions with a cloud‑based LMS and SIS. The system supports learning, assessment, and operations in one place, helping institutions advance their digital transformation goals. The company continued to expand its feature set and had solid product‑market fit, yet the EdTech space remained crowded, with competitors holding much stronger visibility.

Camu gained some traction through organic channels, but its paid campaigns struggled to reach high‑value decision‑makers such as deans, administrators, and IT teams. Targeting lacked precision, messaging didn’t resonate, and lead generation fell short of growth goals. These gaps limited their ability to scale and positioned them for a full paid‑ads overhaul to improve reach, relevance, and lead quality.

The challenge

Before working with me, Camu Digital Campus dealt with expensive, inconsistent conversions, even though Google Ads delivered acceptable click‑through rates. Competition in EdTech raised bid costs, and broad targeting kept campaigns from reaching the right decision‑makers. This weakened differentiation and lowered ROI.

LinkedIn performance showed similar issues. Ads reached people, yet engagement from senior academic leaders stayed low. The creatives didn’t align with the persona’s needs, which reduced credibility. Tracking was limited, and the targeting approach couldn’t scale, blocking the platform’s B2B potential.

These gaps led to high acquisition costs, missed growth opportunities, and limited visibility in a sector where trust and innovation drive buying decisions.

Esteemed digital marketing solutions

I rebuilt Camu’s advertising into a performance‑driven system centered on precise targeting, efficiency, and stronger creatives. Google Ads were split into branded, competitor, and high‑intent keyword groups, supported by Performance Max to expand reach and conversions. Focused keyword research and smart bid adjustments kept costs tight. Geo‑targeting pushed spend into regions with stronger EdTech adoption.

On LinkedIn, I created persona‑based audience clusters for university and school leadership. Engagement grew through refreshed creatives featuring success stories, demos, and video assets. Retargeting brought back interested prospects, and A/B testing across multiple formats uncovered the strongest conversion paths.

Key steps included

  • A custom campaign structure that lifted relevance and ROI
  • Refined bidding and negative keywords that cut wasted spend
  • Retargeting that guided prospects through LinkedIn
  • Persona‑focused creatives that raised engagement and trust
