How to double Felt's Student Acqquisition without any additional budget, in a year?
Felt would like to improve its outreach with students to support. Students are not digitally savvy, are located in many countries, do not speak well English, or do not have easy access to the internet or computers, so how can they find Felt? Felt needs better design, better SEO, has low success with other language pages they already have, and could use better visitors guidance once on the website (chatbot/website structure). So teams could focus their solutions on various parts of Felt's acquisition processes, from social media rebranding, multi-language social post content creation and automation after students have been supported, innovative content creation through automated reuse of music jams and podcast, website reconfiguration for students and for partners sending students.
Choose any or all options above to best use your skills and team to support Felt!
This Equalithon is an opportunity to:
address a critical Societal challenge;
improve and scale our impact, together!
All times are given in US EST (NYC time)
Location: entirely remote
