Case Study
How Synergos Drove a 240% Surge in Leads for St. George's University
The Objective
St. George's University is a world-class medical school with a 50-year legacy. But in India and Australia, two of the most competitive medical education markets in the world, name recognition alone is not enough. The brief was clear: build trust, shift perceptions about Grenada as a medical education destination, and convert curious students and anxious parents into qualified applicants.
The Synergos Approach
- Conducted deep market research across India and Australia to understand audience behaviour, platform preferences, and the specific barriers to consideration for an offshore Caribbean medical school.
- Built region-specific microsites and landing pages designed to answer every objection and position SGU as an aspirational, credible choice.
- Designed and executed full-funnel digital ad campaigns targeting higher secondary students, MD aspirants, and parents across the right platforms, with audience segmentation built around demographics, behaviour, and intent signals.
- Combined paid media with SEO, social media, email marketing, and education platform partnerships to build presence across every stage of the decision journey.
- Generated registrations for online webinars and "Mini Med School" events to create a direct human connection between SGU and its prospects at scale.
- Ran continuous A/B testing on creatives, messaging, and targeting, with machine learning optimisation and manual refinements to sharpen precision and reduce wasted spend over time.
The Outcome
The campaign showed compounding momentum: MQL rates grew from 10% to 18%, CTR improved from 0.66% to 0.94%, and conversion rates climbed from 0.8% to 1.0%. Across the full year, the results told an unmistakable story.
The numbers from 2024 to early 2026 reflect the compounding effect of that consistency. Instagram has grown +187% from 3,830 to over 11,000 followers, with boosted content regularly achieving reach figures between 50,000 and 94,000 and an engagement rate of 27% in February 2026. LinkedIn has crossed 7,144 followers with a steady 11%+ engagement rate, establishing wienerberger as a credible thought-leadership voice among architects, consultants, and trade professionals. YouTube has grown +54% to over 5,140 subscribers with 900,000+ lifetime views, cementing its role as a trusted pre-decision resource. Facebook, the brand's most established community with 54,000+ followers, continues to be nurtured for depth of engagement, a reflection of six years of consistent presence and community investment.
