Reach International Students Where They're Searching: YouTube Video Ads for Enrollment Growth

YouTube isn’t just for entertainment—it’s the world’s second-largest search engine and one of the most powerful tools for connecting with prospective international students. With targeted video ads, you can engage students in their native language, culture, and context before they even start their formal college search. 

Why YouTube for Higher Ed Marketing?

Hyper-Targeted Campaigns

YouTube’s advanced geo-targeting and interest-based audience segmentation mean you can:

  • Focus your budget on priority countries
  • Tailor messaging by language, culture, or academic discipline
  • Deliver ads to students actively searching for higher education
  • Take advantage of Keystone´s expertise of precise targeting and student behavior know-how.
Full-Funnel Strategy on a Single Platform

YouTube supports every stage of the student journey.

Emotional Storytelling That Converts

Students don’t just choose a program—they choose a life experience. Video brings your story to life through sight, sound, and emotion, creating authentic connections that inspire students to take the next step.

Omnichannel Impact

YouTube ads work seamlessly alongside your campaigns on other platforms—bridging the gap between awareness and decision.

Reddit & Quora Campaigns

Campaigns on Reddit & Quora 

Achieve high visibility in high-intent moments, on non-saturated and trustworthy platforms. 

Reach prospective students right when they’re comparing options or looking for answers to make education-related decisions. 

Why choose Reddit & Quora?

  •  Ads are placed alongside authentic, topic-relevant discussions on Reddit and Quora — not lost in the noise
  • Combat ad fatigue, diversify your channel mix with underused, high-trust platforms. Quora and Reddit offer low-competition, cost-efficient exposure to international student audiences.
  • Benefit from high-perceived trust among users on Quora & Reddit. ​Leverage the credibility of peer-to-peer platforms where prospective students actively seek advice and insight.
  • Organic SEO benefits and long-term value.
