  • contextaccount-management2026-08-1366d ago

    Jil Micole Lee takes over as primary account manager from Jun Kai; Rayne Choo is secondary AM and covers when Jil is away.

    Handover call explicitly framed as realigning direction away from Jun Kai's ad-hoc style.

    Meeting· Jil Micole Leesource ↗

  • contextbusiness-metrics2026-08-1366d ago

    $360 per subject per month (market average), 5% churn, ~1.5K monthly ad budget not always spent, LTV unknown so they model a conservative 10-month lifespan.

    Referral scheme: $50 cash per referred student, plus an iPhone at 10 referrals — recently switched from pure cash. Peak months are Term 2 (Mar–May); December is quiet and the centre is closed; January was strong this year. Feb/March underperformed because campaigns launched only a week before.

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • preferencecommunication-hours2026-08-1366d ago

    Contact them in the mornings, before 3:00 PM — afternoons are taken up with teaching. Future meetings to be scheduled in the morning.

    Next check-in set for the following Tuesday.

  • preferencecreative-hooks2026-08-1366d ago

    Willing to try 'rage bait' style hooks (deliberate typos, visually unconventional) and A/B test hooks; talking-head educational videos and the bottle-spinning creative did not land.

    Joe: "conversion is a different question... I can try." The bottle-throwing ad did well by word of mouth — students came because of it. Joe on the tutor spinning the bottle: "not cool enough", students are exposed to crazier stuff.

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • preferenceenglish-subject-angle2026-08-1366d ago

    For English, highlight argumentative writing and comprehension — the areas students struggle with most.

    Jil Micole Lee proposed role-play scenarios to demonstrate the teaching process for these in future content.

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • contexteoy-crash-course-pricing2026-08-1366d ago

    Crash course priced at $45 for a 3-hour session (half the usual lesson price, vs free 2-hour last year), plus a $100 discount if they register for regular lessons by end of the September holidays.

    Target ~30 trial attendees converting to ~15 signups; they expect conversion above the current 50% because the $45 fee qualifies leads.

    Meeting· liang bing wangsource ↗

  • preferencegen-z-brand-voice2026-08-1366d ago

    Keep the current Gen Z, student-centred style for all social and ad content; not formal/professional talking-head educational style.

    liang bing wang: "I think this current style is good... we should continue with the Gen Z style content." They also preferred the tone from the session Owen was in over the earlier 'serious' director-focused approach. Students are the majority of the social audience.

    Meeting· liang bing wangsource ↗

  • contextlead-sources2026-08-1366d ago

    Referrals drive roughly 80–85% of leads; organic social is a 'trust check' for students rather than a direct conversion channel, while paid ads target parents.

    Joe: a nervous Sec 3 student going somewhere new will check the Instagram page to see what the tutors are like — it's an additional touchpoint, not the converter.

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • contexttarget-student-segment2026-08-1366d ago

    They only teach Secondary 3 and 4 now — JC offerings stopped at the end of last year — and Gen Z branding only makes sense for Sec 3 and above.

    Joe: below Sec 2 students don't decide for themselves. JC market seen as too saturated. Jil Micole Lee had wrongly believed JC was still offered.

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • contexttutors2026-08-1366d ago

    Seven tutors after two new hires, aged 21 to 26; a per-tutor persona/question list is being compiled to personalise scripts.

    Jil Micole Lee: current content is too generic — she wants each tutor to have a persona so students recognise them.

    Meeting· liang bing wangsource ↗

11 worth re-confirming before acting on

Nothing has contradicted these, so they are still on the record — but they are old enough that the client may have moved on. Treat them as questions, not instructions.

  • decisionad-refresh-cycle2026-08-1366d ago

    New ad creative on a quarterly (roughly three-month) refresh cycle, with organic social kept consistent monthly.

    Jil Micole Lee proposed a 1–3 month refresh to combat creative fatigue, which she believes explains the high August cost-per-lead. Team agreed on quarterly.

    Meeting· Jil Micole Leesource ↗

  • decisionads-within-eight-video-package2026-08-1366d ago

    Ads stay inside the existing monthly eight-video package rather than being split out into a separate ad budget or extra creative purchases.

    Joe: "ads right now not a huge priority... we rather just keep the ads to whenever we need them uh within the eight videos." He also asked whether hooks can be swapped while keeping the middle and ending of a video.

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • decisionannual-campaign-planning2026-08-1366d ago

    Shift from ad-hoc management to replicable, year-on-year campaign planning — e.g. September/November prep for January 'Back to School' classes.

    Joe: the business is seasonal, so campaigns should be repeatable year on year. Agreed with Jil Micole Lee on the 13 Aug call.

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • decisionchemistry-priority2026-08-1366d ago

    Prioritise Chemistry as the lead subject in crash course marketing, specifically Mole Concept and Chemical Bonding, then funnel to other subjects.

    Chemistry has ~50 students (incl. combined), E-Math ~30, English and Physics combined fewer. Topics may still change after their internal meeting that day.

    Meeting· liang bing wangsource ↗

  • complaintcontent-brief-changes2026-08-1366d ago

    Client submits a title list at the start of the month, then changes direction — making their own videos and new scripts on different angles from the ones they suggested.

    Raised by Jil Micole Lee to Rayne Choo before the client joined; not said to the client.

    Meeting· Jil Micole Leeinferred, not statedsource ↗

  • decisioncrash-course-video-variations2026-08-1366d ago

    Three video variations for the crash course shoot: one Chemistry-specific, one generic crash course, and one for the post-EOY October/November period.

    liang bing wang suggested the third cover post-EOY (mid-Oct to end Nov), when students get results back and demand surges, since it can't be filmed in time later. Owen to feature in the Chemistry videos.

    Meeting· liang bing wangsource ↗

  • decisioneoy-crash-course-sept2026-08-1366d ago

    End-of-year crash course runs 7–11 September; targeting broadened from Sec 3 only to include Sec 2 to get enough lead volume, marketed generically as 'secondary school students'.

    liang bing wang: Sec 2s will sit in buffer slots and be converted to Sec 3 syllabus after about a month; Sec 3s to be promoted to Sec 4 around October. Not touching Sec 1. Last year's September crash course drew 23 students with only a week of marketing.

    Meeting· liang bing wangsource ↗

  • decisiongroup-pricing-crash-course2026-08-1366d ago

    Group pricing / bring-a-friend discount for the crash course left open — client to decide and send the breakdown.

    Jil Micole Lee argued a student would be nervous paying $45 to attend alone. Joe: "maybe that could be a group pricing... possible." liang bing wang: "We haven't thought of that."

    Meeting· Joesource ↗

  • decisionseptember-content-scope2026-08-1366d ago

    September content is restricted strictly to the crash course campaign.

    Meetingsource ↗

  • riskstatic-ad-assets2026-08-1366d ago

    Some static/carousel assets were already submitted but it's unclear whether they are tailored to the Crash Course; status to be confirmed with Jin Kai.

    Jil Micole Lee wants statics to complement video and to explore 'gentle'/poster-style variations.

    Meeting· Jil Micole Leeinferred, not statedsource ↗

  • commitmentseptember-shoot2026-08-1366d ago

    Atlas to film next Tuesday, aiming to shoot all eight videos, with scripts and shot list shared by Monday morning for the client to review.

    Ads must be live by around 24 August for the 7–11 Sept course. Jil Micole Lee to check Nigel and Rayne's availability; client to confirm Owen's and others' availability.
