The brief

Get the word out before opening day

Providence Path Early Learning wanted families to know a new center was on the way. Before investing in a full launch, the team wanted a short, focused campaign that would show which messages connect with parents and start building a list of interested families.

Test new creative

Run three distinct ad concepts side by side and let real results pick the winner.

Build awareness

Reach families of young children near the center, often enough to be remembered.

Start the interest list

Send every click to one landing page with a single, simple action: join the list.

Logo

A sunrise at the end of the path

The new mark places a winding path inside an arched window, leading to a rising sun. The path speaks to a child's first steps, the sunrise to bright beginnings and the arch to a safe, welcoming place to learn. A warm serif wordmark keeps it friendly for parents and polished enough for signage.

Three concepts, one clear test

Each concept takes a different angle on the same message, so the campaign can learn what makes parents stop scrolling: an inviting scene, an emotional line about growing up, or plain urgency around the opening.

Stories and Reels

Full-screen for mobile

A vertical version of the winning concept runs in Facebook and Instagram Stories and Reels, where parents spend much of their scrolling time. Key text stays in the center so nothing is covered by the app's buttons.

Display ads

Staying visible across the web

A matching display set keeps the center in view on news, parenting and local sites, and reminds landing page visitors to come back and sign up.

Marketing plan

A six-week launch awareness test

The plan is intentionally short. It spends a modest budget to learn which creative works best, builds awareness in the community and grows an interest list the center can invite to tours when enrollment opens.

Reach and frequencyHow many local families saw the ads, and how often. The goal is two to three views per person each week.
Click-through rateWhich concept earns the most clicks on Meta Ads and display.
Landing page viewsHow many clicks turn into real visits to the landing page.
Interest list sign-upsTotal sign-ups and cost per sign-up, tracked as the campaign's conversion.

Who we reach

  • Families within a short drive of the center
  • Parents of young children and expecting parents
  • People who visit the landing page but don't sign up
  • People who watch most of a Story or Reel

Sample test budget

Landing page

One page, one action

Every ad sends families to a coming-soon landing page built around a short interest list form. It repeats the ad's message, explains what joining the list gets them and keeps the form above the fold on phones.
