About the Client
Arena Animation Jayanagar is not just another creative institute but it is one of the most established franchise centres in the Arena network, with over 30 years of presence in Bengaluru’s education landscape. What makes this centre genuinely unique is a distinction no other Arena franchise in India holds: UGC-affiliated B.Sc and M.Sc Degree Programmes in Animation and VFX, running alongside 40+ vocational and advanced creative programmes spanning Animation, VFX, Gaming, UI/UX, Interior Design, and Gen-AI powered digital content creation.
The student base here is not limited to Bengaluru. Aspirants from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh enrol specifically for the degree programmes — students who want industry-relevant creative careers at companies like Amazon, Netflix, MPC, and Wipro, but need a structured, placement-foc used learning pathway rather than a short online course to get there. Arena Jayanagar is that pathway.
Key Points To Consider
Campaign Objective
Arena Jayanagar already had strong brand visibility through years of SEO, social media, and offline marketing. However, the objective of Skyram Next was to attract serious, admission-ready students and parents through high-intent, course-specific search campaigns. Google Ads campaigns were strategically structured around admission-intent keywords, course-specific searches, and conversion-focused audience targeting to drive qualified leads. Alongside this, Meta was used strategically for remarketing to re-engage interested visitors and guiding them back into the admission funnel before competitors could capture their attention.
The Challenge
- Broad keyword targeting triggered ads for generic searches like low-cost online courses.
- High-budget Degree Programs; hence it was required to reach the right audiences.
- Admissions teams spending excessive time filtering irrelevant inquiries manually.
- No negative keyword strategy was implemented to block poor-quality searches.
- Interested students who visited course pages or partially filled forms were not being retargeted effectively.
- No structured Meta remarketing system existed to re-engage high-intent visitors.
The Solution
- Configured Google Ads structure around high-intent, admission-focused search behavior.
- Segmented campaigns by course categories including Degree Programs, Diplomas, Gaming, VFX, and Shor-Term Courses.
- Added aggressive negative keyword filtering to eliminate low-budget and irrelevant traffic.
- Used Meta exclusively for remarketing instead of cold lead generation campaigns.
- Retargeted website visitors, warm audiences, and incomplete lead submissions

The Skyram Next Way: Built for Admissions, Not Just Impressions
Running ads is easy. Running ads that consistently bring qualified inquiries and convert them into enrolled students requires a different discipline entirely. Here’s how we approach every campaign, every time.
Data-Centric Campaign Architecture
We don’t guess your budget allocation but we engineer it. Before a single rupee is spent, we build the campaign structure around your intake targets, historical performance benchmarks, and course-level demand signals. Every keyword, every bid strategy, every ad group has a data rationale behind it.
Competition & Audience Intelligence
Every campaign begins with a deep audit of who your competitors are targeting, what they’re saying, and where the gaps are. We map the real audience by intent, geography, device behaviour, and search pattern so your ads reach students who are ready to decide, not just browse.
Weekly Funnel Reviews, Not Monthly Reports
Admissions cycles don’t wait. That’s why we review the full sales funnel; click to inquiry to walk-in to enrolment – every single week. Underperforming keywords get paused. High-intent audiences get scaled. Budgets shift to where conversions are actually happening
