Project Overview
Sydney Photographic Workshops is a leading photography school known for its comprehensive workshops and courses for beginners, advanced enthusiasts and photography buffs alike. As creative businesses were becoming ever more digitised, they decided to focus more on their online channels. They had just commissioned a new website and were struggling to find online marketing methods to drive sales and growth, and promote their exciting range of photography courses to budding photographers. They turned to AdVisible to make a digital marketing campaign that was guaranteed to match their success and reputation as Sydney’s leading photography school.
Our Proposal
As a renowned photography school run by leading master photographers (think of names like Daniel Linnet!), they already had great success through word-of-mouth, referrals and more traditional marketing approaches. They were ready to dive into the world of digital — and they knew we were the right partner to do this with! Our objectives were to;
- Establish the company as a reputable school in a niche online space.
- Drive targeted traffic to their newly designed website.
- Improve brand awareness in a highly competitive field.
- Provide ongoing web support and continually optimise their new website.
Strategy & Awareness
As Sydney Photographic Workshops was fairly new to the world of digital marketing, our experts decided that the best course of action would be to start from scratch! After conducting audits to their new website, social media and Google Ads account, we would have to ensure the following;
- Leverage any website to drive online traffic to ensure users were enrolling into their classes and workshops.
- Achieve increased overall conversions.
- Establish a robust digital sales channel for the brand.

Website Design & Support: CRO Optimisation
Our next plan of attack was optimising Sydney Photographic Workshop’s website for conversions. This meant ensuring people who were actively looking for their workshops were moving through the last stages of the marketing funnel, and ‘enrolling’. We implemented the following strategies:
- Adding clearly labelled CTAs.
- Implementing defined tabs that featured information referring to workshop requirements, pricing, class overview.
- Implementing clearly defined customer reviews to the top of the course.
- Created clearer user flows – by bolding the most important info and listing FAQs to the bottom of the page.
Our UX strategies improved user experience, increased chances of user engagement and enrolments from new prospects.
