02. Client Snapshot

About 360 Abroad

360 Abroad operates in the study abroad and overseas education space, helping students explore international education opportunities.

The brand's social media communication needed to address the questions students commonly have before applying abroad — including:

IELTS requirements
IELTS waiver possibilities
Study gaps
Country selection
University selection
Intakes and deadlines
Scholarships
Visa and study permit guidance

The content supplied for the project reflects this approach, with posts designed to educate students while encouraging them to start a conversation with 360 Abroad.

03. The Challenge

The problem

Students Have Questions Before They Have Decisions

Studying abroad is a high-consideration decision. Students often need clarity before they are ready to enquire:

  • “Do I need IELTS?”
  • “Can I study abroad with a study gap?”
  • “Which country fits my budget?”
  • “Which intake should I apply for?”
  • “Can I work while studying?”
Strategic Objective

This created an opportunity for 360 Abroad's digital presence to become more than a promotional channel.

The objective: Use educational content to address student concerns while using Meta Ads to generate direct enquiry opportunities.

04. Objectives

What Rankraze Focused On

01

Generate Leads

Use Meta Ads to generate student enquiries for study-abroad opportunities.

02

Increase Digital Reach

Put 360 Abroad's offers and educational messaging in front of relevant audiences.

03

Build Educational Content

Create content around the questions and concerns students have before applying abroad.

04

Strengthen Social Presence

Maintain a consistent Instagram-focused content direction.

05

Convert Attention Into Conversations

Use CTAs such as DM, enquiry and lead-generation actions to move interested students toward counselling.

05. Strategy

Our strategy

One Brand. Two Digital Growth Channels.

Rankraze worked across two complementary areas:

Channel 01

Organic Social Media

Educate → Build Interest → Create Trust → Encourage Enquiry

Channel 02

Meta Ads

Target → Reach → Generate Leads → Start Conversations

This allowed the organic content and paid campaigns to support different stages of the student journey.

06. Execution

Organic Social Media Strategy — Turning Student Questions Into Content

The June content plan shows a strong educational approach. Rather than making every post directly promotional, the content addressed practical questions students have when considering studying abroad.

1

Content Pillar 01

Content Pillar 01 — IELTS & Language Requirements

One reel focused on common assumptions around IELTS scores and explained that requirements can vary by university and course.

The CTA encouraged students to comment their target country to explore language requirements.

2

Content Pillar 02

Content Pillar 02 — IELTS Waiver Possibilities

A dedicated post explored countries where IELTS waiver possibilities may exist depending on academic background and English-medium education.

UKFranceSwedenOther European destinations

with a "NO IELTS" DM CTA.

3

Content Pillar 03

Content Pillar 03 — Intake & Application Information

The content also addressed Fall 2026 applications and highlighted application timelines across:

CanadaUKAustraliaNew ZealandIrelandFrance

The CTA encouraged students to enquire using "2026."

4

Content Pillar 04

Content Pillar 04 — Student Journey Storytelling

A reel concept followed Priya from Chennai, presenting a relatable study-abroad journey from uncertainty about IELTS, scholarships and university selection toward counselling and study permit guidance.

This was used as a storytelling format to make the counselling journey easier for prospective students to understand.

5

Content Pillar 05

Content Pillar 05 — Country Selection

A carousel concept helped students think about country selection based on: Budget + Course + Career Goals + Preferred Study Benefits.

The content then encouraged students to DM their budget, course and preferred country for guidance.

07. Content Framework

From Information to Enquiry

Student Question
Educational Content
Relevant Country / Course Information
Simple CTA
DM / Enquiry

This helped turn common study-abroad questions into opportunities for direct interaction with the brand.
