Ivan didn't want to hire a marketing department. He wanted the result of having one. Copper Rock ran the entire marketing operation for Skin Science Institute and turned ad spend into 10.5x ROAS, $1.28M in revenue, and 85 enrolled students.

01

The Pain

Medical aesthetics education sits in a complicated advertising environment. Platform restrictions on health-related claims, competitive cost-per-click, and long enrollment decision cycles all make it easy to spend a lot and enroll very few. Ivan needed more than a vendor running ads. He needed a team that understood the business outcome, built around it, and owned the results.

02

The Problem

Most marketing vendors optimize for the metric they control. The ad manager optimizes for leads. The email person optimizes for opens. Nobody owns the full funnel from first impression to enrolled student. For a program like Skin Science, that gap is where revenue disappears. Without someone running the whole thing as one system, spend gets duplicated, attribution gets murky, and the real ROI of marketing never gets clear.

03

The Approach

Copper Rock ran the entire marketing operation. That meant paid search, paid social, creative direction, tracking setup, and full-funnel optimization all coordinated together. On Google, we targeted high-intent searches from people actively looking for aesthetics training programs. On Meta, we reached prospective students earlier in their journey and built the case for Skin Science's program before they started comparing options. Everything was tracked back to the same outcome: enrolled students. That's the number that mattered and the number we optimized for.

The Results
