About Intelligent Partners

Intelligent Partners is one of the Gulf region's leading education consultants, helping students secure admissions across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. With 50+ counselors and a track record of Ivy League placements, the company had strong brand equity.

However, scaling qualified lead generation was a persistent challenge. Their team was spending heavily on Meta and Google ads, but found it difficult to balance lead quantity with quality. Local freelancers and traditional agencies were slow to test creatives or adjust targeting.

"The team needed a performance layer that could work at scale—with intelligence."

The Challenge

With multiple student segments (undergrad, postgrad, MBA, med schools), each with unique emotional and financial drivers, the team struggled to run high-performing, personalized ads at scale.

Generic messaging failed to resonate with niche audiences (e.g. SAT vs GMAT vs MBBS aspirants)
Cost per lead was rising, especially for North American destinations
Lead quality varied wildly, with many unqualified inquiries
Ad testing cycles were slow, with few new creatives produced each month
Retargeting was underutilized, losing warm leads due to a lack of timely content

They needed a smarter system—not just to generate creatives but to continuously optimize performance based on ROI.

"The AI understands nuance. Ads that speak to Indian parents in Dubai are totally different from what works for MBA aspirants in Delhi. Mesha helps us hit both, without doubling our workload."
