The Challenge

Where They Started

A student housing operator for Woodrow on 30th, serving Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, came to us with a fixed deadline and a clear business imperative. The academic year was approaching, units were still available, and they needed scheduled tours and qualified inquiries quickly. They had experimented with advertising before but lacked reliable conversion tracking, so they could not confidently tie spend to real leasing interest. With no visibility into which campaigns were driving actual tours, it was difficult for them to scale or adjust strategy.
