Project Overview

As the Digital Marketing Manager for DAV College and associated institutional brands, this ongoing engagement covers the full spectrum of digital brand presence — from strategic content planning and social media management to targeted Meta advertising campaigns, brand identity design, and performance analytics. The work drives measurable institutional growth through data-informed digital strategy across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp Business channels.

Problem Statement

The institution had virtually no organized digital presence — social media pages were inactive, no paid advertising was running, brand identity materials were inconsistent, and enrollment inquiries were generated entirely through traditional word-of-mouth. The challenge was to build an entirely new digital marketing ecosystem from scratch, establish brand recognition, and drive measurable results within strict budget constraints.
