Trusted by education institutions worldwide
Most institutions optimise for enquiry conversion.
The decision happened earlier.
Institutions that invest in the digital journey before enquiry capture disproportionate share of applications. Agent-dependent models introduce a filter that reduces the quality and volume of the direct relationship entirely.

What changes when you work with us.
Built around enrolments, not agent dependency.
88% more international enquiries. MYR 1.8M less in agent commission.
INTI International University is one of Malaysia's largest and most respected private higher education institutions, with programmes across business, engineering, computing, and health sciences. Like most private universities in Southeast Asia, INTI's international student recruitment had been built on a network of overseas education agents — a model that delivered volume but at high cost, with limited brand control and no direct relationship with the prospective student during the pre-enrolment journey.
LVRA built INTI's direct international student acquisition programme across five source markets — India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya, and Vietnam — combining targeted digital marketing, SEO for international study search intent, and automated lead nurture that moved prospective students from first digital encounter through enquiry to application without agent intermediation. The programme delivered 88% growth in direct digital enquiries, a 34% improvement in enquiry-to-enrolment conversion rate, and MYR 1.8M in first-year agent commission savings.

Four gaps. Each one is costing you enrolments.
From international student direct acquisition to B2B institutional sales for EdTech and curriculum providers — each gap has a specific solution. Each unaddressed gap compounds the dependency it creates.
International Recruitment Built on Agent Intermediaries
Education agents deliver volume but create structural problems: high commission costs, no direct brand relationship with prospective students during the critical research phase, inconsistent messaging across markets, and no visibility into why qualified prospects choose a competitor.
→ We build direct digital acquisition programmes across international source markets — combining SEO for international study intent, targeted paid media in source countries, and automated lead nurture that moves prospective students from first digital encounter through enquiry to application without agent intermediation. For INTI, this reduced agent dependency while growing direct enquiries by 88%.
Enquiry Nurture That Loses Prospective Students to Silence
Most institutions capture an enquiry and route it to a human admissions advisor — a process that introduces response delays and inconsistency at exactly the moment a prospective student is most engaged. Students who enquire and receive no immediate response within 24–48 hours are 70% less likely to convert to application.
→ We build automated enquiry nurture sequences that deliver immediate personalised responses to every enquiry, based on the programme, source market, and study level indicated — followed by a structured information sequence across the 14–21 days most critical to application conversion.
B2B EdTech and Curriculum Sales With No Pipeline Engine
EdTech providers, STEM hardware companies, and curriculum platforms selling to schools and universities face a specific B2B challenge: the buyer is a curriculum head, head of department, or procurement manager who receives dozens of vendor approaches — and filters almost all before a conversation is had.
→ We build targeted outbound programmes that reach curriculum decision-makers by their specific subject responsibility, school type, and procurement cycle timing. For MakeBlock, we generated 82 qualified school conversations and 34 institutional accounts — including 8 UK academy trust networks — by targeting robotics curriculum leads and STEM coordinators.
Domestic Enrolment Marketing That Competes on Rank Alone
Domestic student acquisition for private institutions is dominated by ranking comparisons, course finder platforms, and open day marketing — all of which flatten differentiation and reduce selection to commodity factors: price, location, and league table position.
→ We build content and SEO programmes that reach prospective domestic students at the intent stage — with content that answers the specific programme questions students ask in the research phase, establishing institutional authority before any competitor ranking comparison begins.

What we understand that most marketing agencies don't.
Education marketing sits at the intersection of student psychology, institutional sales, and international market intelligence. We have built programmes across B2C student acquisition, B2B EdTech platform sales, and curriculum provider outreach.
International student decision psychology
International student decisions involve multiple household stakeholders — the student, parents, and often extended family — each weighing different factors: employability, visa pathways, living costs, and safety. Our campaigns are built around the specific concerns of each stakeholder, not a generic institutional message.
Source market specificity
Education search behaviour differs significantly between India, Nigeria, Vietnam, and Indonesia — in the platforms used, the information sought, the accreditation signals that matter, and the graduate outcome data that drives confidence. We build source-market-specific campaigns rather than generic international outreach.
Agent-independent acquisition architecture
Reducing agent dependency without losing international enrolment volume requires a specific digital infrastructure: SEO-optimised programme pages, targeted paid media in source markets, and a lead nurture system that maintains the personalised guidance agents previously provided — at a fraction of the commission cost.
B2B school buyer journey mapping
EdTech and curriculum sales to schools involve multiple approval stages: curriculum lead interest, head of department endorsement, and procurement or finance sign-off. We map the buyer unit for each school type and build sequences that address each stakeholder's specific questions at the appropriate stage in the evaluation process.
Domestic versus international programme differentiation
Private institutions serving both domestic and international student markets face a positioning challenge: the same institution needs to communicate different value propositions to different audiences. We build content architectures that serve both journeys without creating brand inconsistency.
Conversion infrastructure for long-cycle decisions
Education decisions typically take 6–18 months from first digital encounter to enrolment — much longer than most conversion funnels assume. We build nurture sequences designed for this timeline, maintaining engagement through the application cycle, conditional offer stage, and pre-arrival period.
