About St. Martinus University
St. Martinus University Faculty of Medicine is a medical school in Curaçao. Its MD programme is built around the path to US licensing and residency, and it recruits students from India, the United States and other markets.
The university runs an India admissions push from Hyderabad, where families weigh an international MD against the competition for medical seats at home.
The problem
Almost no visibility and no clear position
Few prospective students or parents knew the university, and those who did were unsure what it stood for. It risked being seen as a local option rather than an international medical school with a US pathway.
Leads without a route to admission
Campaigns produced enquiries, but there was no defined admissions flow, no tracking from lead source to admission, and no feedback loop between marketing and the admissions team.
Too much weight on a few channels
Paid social carried most of the lead volume, and single-city events were costly for the turnout they drew. Admissions needed more channels that bring in serious applicants.
What we did
01Build the positioning
We defined the university as an international medical school with a clear path from classroom to US clinical training and residency, and built content around faculty, students and outcomes.
- International positioning, not a local alternative
- Faculty, student and alumni stories as proof
02Take visibility from near zero
We ran social campaigns, webinars and ask-me-anything sessions, shifting budget to the platforms that performed. Instagram produced the large majority of paid social leads.
- Instagram-led paid social
- Webinars and AMA sessions with faculty and students
03Open more admissions channels
We added channels beyond paid lead generation: open days, campaigns timed to the NEET results season, structured counselling flows and institutional partnerships.
- Open days and parent sessions
- NEET-season campaigns
- Partnerships with institutions that refer students
04Design the path from call to counselling
We mapped the admissions process from first call to counselling to application, with counselling scripts in English, Hindi and Telugu so families could speak in their own language.
- Defined admissions stages
- Trilingual counselling scripts and FAQs
05Fix tracking and plan the next year
A 2025 review diagnosed geo-targeting and tracking gaps. The 2026 plan adds source-to-admission tracking and replaces single-city US events with a state roadshow model.
- CRM and tracking from lead source to admission
- State-by-state roadshow plan for the US
