NW Phlebotomy School — Cave Social Proposal

Prepared for Kyle Drewry — NW Phlebotomy School

Start With Paid.
Win The Market.

Your students are under 25 and scrolling. Your competitors are spending. The fastest path to market share isn't more Google — it's owning the feed where your next students are deciding their future.

You're spending $40,000/month on Google — capturing people who are already searching. Social media reaches the ones who haven't decided yet. That's a bigger pool, and right now nobody in your category is fishing in it well. One competitor is. They're backed by private equity and it's showing in your market share numbers. We put you on the same playing field — with better stories.

We pulled every active Facebook and Instagram ad in the phlebotomy training space. Here's the landscape — and exactly why there's an opening for NW Phlebotomy.

Intelvio ads
Intelvio The threat

PE-backed and investing heavily. Real people, urgency-driven hooks — "The longer you delay starting, the longer you delay earning." Operating under 3+ brand names. This is why you're losing market share. This is also the exact playbook we run for you.

NTI and Southern Careers ads
Southern Careers / NTI Generic

Stock photography and feature lists. "Ready to launch a fulfilling healthcare career?" No story, no hook, no reason to stop scrolling. These are the brands you can take market share from immediately.

Penn Foster ads
Penn Foster / Others AI / Stock

AI-generated imagery and stock photos. A 23-year-old spots this in 0.3 seconds. Healthcare content has to feel real. Trust erodes before they read a word of copy.

The gap: Intelvio has the private equity budget. But NW Phlebotomy has the authentic story — real instructors, real graduates, 40+ locations of proof, and a decade of careers launched. Put that on camera in Texas. Run it on Meta. That's the ad that beats them.

Why paid before organic

Organic social builds a brand over 12–18 months. Paid gets you data in 30 days. We run ads first so you know what's working before you invest in brand building. If a hook converts, it becomes your organic content too. No wasted shots.

Your 10K list is the starting gun

Day one, your newsletter list goes into Meta. We build a lookalike audience — Meta finds people who look exactly like your existing students: same age, same interests, same intent signals. That's your targeting before we have a single conversion pixel fired.

Real stories filmed in Texas

We fly to Austin or Dallas, rent a Peerspace studio, and spend a day filming past student testimonials. Professionally lit, no crappy classroom backgrounds. One shoot day produces enough creative to test for an entire quarter — and the winning ad runs well beyond 90 days.

Google audit — no obligation

You're spending 0K/month and unsure what you're getting. Get us view access and we'll give you an honest read. If your current agency is doing a good job, we'll say so. If not, we fold it into one package at a discount. Everything under one roof.

For context: you're currently spending $40,000/month on Google — $120,000 over 90 days — to capture people who are already searching. This is less than half of that, reaching an audience that doesn't know they're looking yet. At the end of 90 days you'll know exactly what Meta can do alongside Google. If it's working, you scale. If it's not, we'll be the first to tell you.
