Website: www.thsimplevueacademy.org

Client Overview:

The Simple Vue Academy is a forward-thinking charter school serving 6th-12th grade students in Douglas, Cobb, Paulding, and Fulton County. The academy offers a revolutionary learning experience, focusing on STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) skills, entrepreneurship, and real-world problem-solving. Their mission is to empower students not only to prepare for the future but to actively shape it by launching businesses and turning challenges into opportunities that impact both their lives and their community.

Challenges Faced by The Simple Vue Academy Before Our Service:

Before engaging our CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) services and full-service web design, The Simple Vue Academy faced several key challenges in building its brand and attracting prospective students:

1. Lack of a Strong Brand Identity: As a new charter school, The Simple Vue Academy needed to establish a distinct brand that communicated its innovative educational approach. Their messaging was not yet cohesive, and the school struggled to differentiate itself from other educational institutions in the region.
2. Limited Online Presence: The school’s existing website was outdated and lacked functionality, making it difficult for prospective students and parents to navigate or learn about the unique value the academy offered. The site wasn’t mobile-friendly, and the design didn’t reflect the school’s cutting-edge curriculum or dynamic learning environment.
3. Engaging Prospective Students and Parents: Without a comprehensive marketing strategy, the academy struggled to generate awareness and excitement around their programs. They needed a way to effectively communicate the unique opportunities available at The Simple Vue Academy to parents, students, and the broader community.
4. Scaling Enrollment and Visibility: The school wanted to scale its enrollment and expand its reach across multiple counties, but lacked the marketing infrastructure and strategy to do so efficiently. They needed to grow their student body while positioning the academy as a leader in innovative education.
