Description

Background:
May 2025. PDP University was entering a critical phase of student recruitment. But in a noisy market full of flashy ads, traditional channels were overcrowded and overpriced. PDP University didn’t need louder messaging — it needed smarter reach.

Problem:
Meta and Google were too loud — and too expensive. Students had learned to scroll past anything that looked like an ad. PDP University needed a way to reach them where they still paid attention. A channel they trusted. A message they’d actually believe

Idea:
The message opened with one line “Don’t tell anyone!”.
Then came the hook “Entrance exam questions have been leaked. PDP University’s X-variant questions are now in this channel. Tap to see them before they’re gone.”
