Appily Advance

Cost-effective, high-quality leads for adult learners across graduate business, health care, and degree completion programs

Adult learners are notoriously challenging to find, nurture, and convert. Appily Advance uses a diversified acquisition strategy and gamified user experience to generate high-intent leads for your institution’s graduate, healthcare, and adult-serving programs.

Diversified Acquisition Strategy

Reach more right-fit students

Backed by EAB’s 12+ years of experience supporting graduate and adult programs through Adult Learner Recruitment, Appily Advance applies a deep understanding of adult student search preferences—alongside rigorous testing and analysis—to find and engage prospective students at scale. We draw from a variety of sources including consumer analytics, paid media, SEO, retargeting, and proprietary resources to identify students interested in returning to school.

Gamified User Experience

Convert general interest into marketable leads

Using a highly engaging interactive web experience, we provide students personalized career pathways or return-to-school readiness scores and then steer them to corresponding resources to support program discovery. We deploy a gamified approach that disarms students from their aversion to marketing and fuels higher response rates.
