Management colleges · Digital marketing
Plan the year around the test calendar and spend where candidates enrol.
Digital marketing for a management college is the combination of search, social, email, LinkedIn and webinars that moves a candidate from first search to an enrolled seat. GullySales builds the plan by programme and tests it against enrolments, not clicks.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For management colleges
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The admission year is a calendar of results”
Test results, application windows, interview rounds and seat-fee dates set when candidates are listening. A plan that spends evenly across the year spends too little when attention peaks and too much when it does not.
“Spend should follow the programme with spare seats”
A programme with unfilled places needs reach and reasons to apply. A programme close to full needs only follow-up. Budget shared equally across programmes fails both, so the plan starts from the seat position your office reports for each programme.
“Clicks are a poor judge of an admission”
A campaign that fills the call list with unqualified names looks cheap and costs admissions time. The measure is enrolled students by source, which needs the CRM tagged from the first click. Each channel in the plan therefore earns its share by that measure.
“Advertising by institutions has rules”
Rules on how colleges may advertise, and how rankings, approvals and placements are quoted, differ by state and body. Every claim in an advert should have a source line in your files. Check with your own adviser, and the platforms' current rules, before launch.
What we do
What we deliver for management colleges.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A plan by programme and season
The plan sets channels, messages and pages for each programme against the test and admission calendar.
Result: You can see what runs, for whom and when, programme by programme.
Search campaigns for programme and specialisation terms
Campaigns are built around the searches candidates use, each landing on the matching programme page.
Result: Each campaign has a page written for its searches.
LinkedIn and email for executive programmes
Targeted posts, messages and an email series offer a conversation with the programme head.
Result: Executive enquiries have their own route and owner.
Webinars with faculty
Topic, slides, invitation message and reminders are prepared for sessions that answer candidate questions.
Result: A candidate can meet the faculty before applying.
A cost per enrolled student report
Spend and enrolments are joined by source and programme, using the tags in the CRM.
Result: The college sees which channels filled seats.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

Measure as one campaign
Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.
Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
