How we built a scalable growth engine for a multi-location music franchise, doubling lead volume while reducing costs.

The Challenge

A multi-location music education franchise was spending significantly but seeing stalled growth. Agency fatigue, operational drag, and opaque reporting were holding them back.

Stalled Growth & High Burn

Despite high retainer fees, the franchise owners were doing the heavy lifting. Growth had flatlined, and the previous agency relationship had deteriorated due to a pattern of overpromising and underdelivering.

Operational Friction

Owners were spending more time managing marketing than running their schools, leading to burnout and inefficiency.

Unsustainable CAC

Averaging just 3 opportunities per week with a high Customer Acquisition Cost of $245.35.

The "Black Box" Problem

They struggled to see exactly which locations were performing. Data was fragmented, and attribution was a guessing game.

The Turnaround

High Volume. High Value.

By fixing the foundation and automating the flow, we turned a stagnant account into a predictable revenue engine.

Volume Exploded

We scaled from ~4.5 leads to 9 qualified opportunities per week per location. A massive influx of potential students.

Profitable Scale

Quality remained high. We achieved a massive 18x LTV:CAC ratio, proving the system builds long-term revenue.

The Infrastructure

We didn't just take over the ad account; we integrated with their team to rebuild the entire acquisition ecosystem.
