Applause Study – From Startup to Trusted UK Visa Consultancy

Business Overview

Applause Study is an education consultancy that helps students from Pakistan secure admissions and study visas for the United Kingdom. The company began its operations in June 2024 as a small startup with a vision to simplify the UK study visa process for students across Pakistan.


Challenge

When Applause Study first launched, they faced several key challenges:

  • Zero online presence and lack of awareness in a highly competitive market.

  • No defined marketing strategy or content direction.

  • Difficulty building credibility and trust as a new consultancy.

  • Struggle to attract qualified student leads through organic or paid channels.

They needed a complete digital transformation — from identity to visibility — to gain recognition and establish authority in the education consultancy space.


Our Approach

Growth Asteroid took a comprehensive, results-driven approach to transform Applause Study’s presence into a growing and trusted brand.

  1. Social Media Management & Marketing
    We created a consistent posting strategy that showcased student success stories, visa approvals, and educational insights to build trust and engagement.

  2. Video Editing & Reels Creation
    We produced visually engaging video content to humanize the brand, highlight services, and communicate value to prospective students.

  3. Creative Design & Content Development
    Our team developed branded graphics, infographics, and marketing visuals designed to strengthen their brand identity and improve reach.

  4. Paid Campaigns & Lead Generation
    We ran targeted ad campaigns on social media to capture student leads interested in UK intakes, using optimized creatives and clear CTAs.

  5. Performance Optimization
    We continuously monitored ad performance, engagement metrics, and conversion trends to refine the strategy month after month.


Results

The results spoke for themselves. Within a year of consistent work and marketing efforts:

  • +412% increase in qualified student leads

  • +270% boost in brand awareness and engagement

  • 40 confirmed UK visa approvals, each valued at over £12,000

  • Achieved partnership with Iconic Solutions, expanding their credibility and service reach

Through sustained digital efforts, Applause Study evolved from a small startup to a recognized consultancy in the education sector with measurable growth in both revenue and reputation.
