Case Study: Dynamics 365 Marketing for EdTech

The Challenge

LearnSpark, a fast-growing EdTech platform in Canada, was struggling to effectively engage prospective students across email and web campaigns. Their existing outreach was:

  1. Manually managed
  2. Poorly segmented
  3. Lacking performance tracking

With growing interest in their courses, they needed a scalable and automated marketing system that could:

  1. Personalize outreach based on student interests
  2. Automate follow-ups based on behavior
  3. Track engagement in real-time

Their goal was to boost enrollment and free up their marketing team from repetitive tasks.
