Texas College Savings Plan & Texas Tuition Promise Fund: How Texans doubled down on their kids' future with an 18% enrollment lift.

Digital Prospecting StrategyFull-Funnel CampaignExperiential Activation

## **CHALLENGE**

With more 529 plans entering the market (many backed by private banks with deep pockets) Texas’ state-sponsored college savings plans needed to stand out. The challenge: boost enrollments, increase awareness, and prove long-term value against louder, better-funded competition.

## **INSIGHT**

Parents don’t just want another savings account. They want reassurance that investing now opens doors tomorrow. By connecting financial planning to the real-world possibilities of a degree, we could transform financial decisions into future-focused commitments.

## **CREATIVE + MEDIA SOLUTION**

**Media:**  
We mapped the entire online enrollment funnel and used conversion data to build precise user personas. With those insights, we launched a targeted direct-response digital campaign that reached the right prospects at the right moments, driving them toward action.

 

**Creative:**  
To bring the brand promise to life, we created a kids’ career fair, an engaging, hands-on event that showcased how savings today can unlock big futures tomorrow. Paired with online content, the activation made college planning feel both tangible and inspiring.
