Amped Up Rock School Campaign System.
A full growth and operations system for a local music school, covering brand, marketing, website, and payments.
Why it exists
Local music schools live and die on enrolment. The work is great, the teachers are great, but the marketing is patchy. Every term starts with someone trying to remember what worked last time, redoing the graphics, and improvising the offer.
Amped Up needed a system that did not depend on one person’s memory. Same shape every term, only the message and the offer change. The team can run it without help, and it gets sharper each cycle instead of starting over.
How it works
- 01Define core campaign message
Pick the offer and the angle for the term. One clear hook, written in the voice the school already uses with parents.
- 02Use pre-built content templates
Posts, stories, reels, and email all start from set templates. The team fills the gaps instead of starting from a blank page.
- 03Deploy across Instagram and local channels
Same campaign, scheduled across the channels that actually pull students in. Local groups, school noticeboards, and Instagram.
- 04Capture leads via simple CTA
One link, one form, one place every reply lands. No chasing DMs across accounts.
- 05Repeat with variations
Each new term swaps the message and offer, keeps the structure. The campaign gets sharper every cycle, not rebuilt every time.
Lead flow and automation
The campaign is only one part. The system connects interest to bookings without friction.
- 01Offer and entry point
- Simple, low-friction offer to get people in.
- Free taster or low-cost intro session.
- Clear message. No pressure.
- 02Landing and booking
- Single landing page with a clear call to action.
- Users can view availability and book instantly.
- Email confirmations and reminders reduce no-shows.
- 03Lead capture and response
- Enquiries are captured in one place with basic details.
- New leads receive a fast response with a booking link.
- Removes delays and missed messages.
- 04Follow-up and conversion
- Simple follow-up messages for people who do not book straight away.
- Short, timed messages that show what a session looks like and invite them back.
- 05Ongoing flow
- Content, local channels, and word of mouth feed into the same system.
- Everything points back to one clear action: book a session.
The system is designed so automation can be added without rebuilding it.
- Leads can be captured, tracked, and responded to automatically.
- Follow-up can run in the background instead of relying on memory.
What I built
Five connected pieces. Brand, web, content, campaigns, and the lead flow that ties them together.
- Campaign system
Playbook, templates, and channel checklist. The team can run a term campaign without rebuilding the wheel.
- Website
Clean, fast site on Vercel. Built around a single booking action, not a list of pages.
- Brand
Refreshed identity and a short guidelines doc. One consistent look across web, social, and print.
- Content
Real session and workshop photography. Reusable across campaigns, the website, and partner posts.
- Lead flow
One CTA, one form, one inbox. Captures, confirms, and nudges follow-up so nothing slips.

Beyond the campaign
The campaign system was one part of a wider clean-up across the business.
- Brand refresh
Updated the visual identity and put together a clear brand guidelines document. Gives the team a consistent look and feel across everything they put out.
- New website
Designed and built a clean, modern site and deployed it on Vercel. Fast, simple to manage, and aligned with the new brand.
- Upfront payment system
Replaced chasing parents for 4 to 8 weeks of unpaid lessons with a simple membership model. Parents pay upfront. Cash flow improves. No awkward follow-ups.
- Content foundation
Brought in a photographer to capture real sessions and workshops. Gives the campaign system strong, reusable content instead of low-quality filler.
- Domain refresh
Moved to a more memorable, brandable domain. The old domain redirects cleanly to the new one.
Result
- Campaigns run faster and with less effort. The team is no longer starting from scratch each term.
- Cash flow is cleaner. Payments are handled upfront instead of chased weeks later.
- The brand feels consistent across website, social, and campaigns. It looks like one business, not a mix of styles.
- New content actually reflects the experience of the school, not stock or rushed photos.
- The system is easier to hand over. New staff or freelancers can step in without guesswork.
