Edsby
Trusted K–12 social-learning environment increases brand awareness in the U.S. education market through original research
Goals
When the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools and districts across the world to adapt and embrace remote learning, Edsby became an essential tool to keep families informed.
Based in Canada, Edsby partnered with CB&A to increase brand awareness of the company and its product in the U.S. education market, as well as to attract leads for new business. Through a “Grade Your LMS” poll and research project, Edsby invited K–12 educators to rate satisfaction with their school system’s current LMS provider. Results shed light on dissatisfaction with commonplace LMS providers while qualifying certain respondents as appropriate leads for Edsby.
