Developing the B2C Content Strategy For Udacity

48M impressions$0 paid

Objective

Udacity is a leader in online tech education, but its consumer content had no shared voice, no clear audience, and no engine behind it. I came on to build that engine end to end: the brand voice, the customer avatars, the messaging, the editorial calendar, and the AI workflows that tripled how fast we could publish.

Key Results

  • In less than 8 months, drove 29,179 net new audience and 48 million impressions across the company’s organic social media channels with no paid ad spend

  • On LinkedIn (Udacity’s top-performing social channel), improved impressions 51.7% year-over-year, engagements 116% year-over-year, and engagement rate 42.9% year-over-year.

  • Increased content velocity across blog & social media channels by 3X by building and deploying custom GPTs trained on Udacity brand voice & tone

  • Launched cross-functional webinar program for company, which drove 3.7k new leads and 28,800+ webinar replay views for company within 6 months of inception with zero paid budget

  • Revamped Udacity YouTube channel, leading to 6.4 million video views and 32,071 new subscribers in first 12 months of launch

  • Published strategic thought leadership pieces in the fields of Generative AI, artificial intelligence, machine learning & other cutting-edge technologies
