About The Customer
Teach For America is an organization that enlists, develops, and mobilizes our nation’s most promising future leaders to grow and strengthen the movement for educational equity and excellence. The organization recruits “remarkable and diverse individuals to become teachers in low-income communities” to confront educational inequality classroom by classroom. These are some of the most distinguished and desirable job applicants in the world, and they’re also pursued by big brands offering big salaries. The organization is headquartered in New York, NY.
The Challenge
Teach For America is an organization that recruits distinguished individuals to become teachers in low-income communities to confront educational inequality. These individuals are some of the most desirable job applicants in the world, pursued by big brands offering big salaries. Keeping these applicants engaged throughout a rigorous selection process is essential. The challenge was to stay top-of-mind with these illustrious applicants. Some qualities valued by Teach for America are difficult to quantify, like leadership or passion for equality while others are fairly easy. For example, an applicant’s GPA helps the organization understand the individual’s academic achievement. Teachers with backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are in high demand by schools around the country, so Teach For America is focused on attracting more people with these backgrounds into the corps.
The Solution
Teach For America and LunaMetrics partnered to stay top-of-mind with their illustrious applicants by uniting the Audiences feature in Google Analytics with Google search remarketing in AdWords. Basic information provided by users early in the Teach For America application process was made available in the Google Tag Manager Data Layer, captured in Google Analytics using Custom Dimensions, and then used to group users anonymously into custom segments. These segments, once combined, allowed the Teach For America team to identify and engage the most competitive potential teachers as they planned their careers. Teach For America then used the segments for applicants with the most desired qualities to create audiences in Google AdWords and crafted personalized campaigns on the Search Network with Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSA).
Operational Impact
  • By combining events and audiences in Google Analytics, random applicants were turned into related groups. Google AdWords adapted the message to speak specifically to them and their needs.
  • Return on ad spend is not only for e-commerce businesses. That’s the main takeaway, for Teach For America and marketers as a whole. This nonprofit campaign taught a lesson in efficient advertising and prequalified investing.
  • The best and the brightest students have the option to take their careers in any direction, but Teach For America can now use RLSA to ensure the fullest reach and frequency for these highly sought-after individuals. That’s something the organization was never able to do at scale before.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 57% increase in conversion rate over campaigns without audience targeting
  • Achieved a conversion rate higher than account average with broad keywords
