You are scaling a franchise network and your marketing has to scale with it. The current agency is reactive and the ads look corporate and canned. Parents can tell when content is generated rather than real, and trust drops before they read a word.

The fix is to build the brand and creative once, at the corporate level, then hand every franchisee a turnkey system. Consistent national brand, authentic creative, and a local campaign each school can run from day one. That is the model below.

This matters most because of where the network is headed. New schools are coming online across multiple markets, with a site breaking ground in North Carolina and a deep pipeline behind it. Build the engine now and every future location launches on a proven playbook instead of starting from zero. The system compounds with each opening.

Two layers, one system. Corporate funds the engine. Strategy, creative, and national paid media live at the top and flow down to every location. Each franchise runs its local instance on the creative and playbook corporate already paid to build, so the cost at the school level stays light.

Layer 1 — paid by corporate
The Engine
Brand strategy, static creative production, national paid media, and the franchisee onboarding system. Built once, used everywhere.
Layer 2 — paid by each franchise
Local Execution

Two budgets, two jobs.

Corporate spend

Funds national brand awareness and top-of-funnel education about the World Kids School model. This builds equity across the network.

Franchise spend

Funds local geo-targeted enrollment campaigns inside each school's catchment area. This converts the demand the brand generates.

Ad spend is always billed direct to your accounts, never wrapped into our fees. Keeping the two budgets separate ensures national investment compounds into brand equity while local dollars stay focused on filling seats.

Paid media management covers Google and Meta only. All ad spend is billed directly to the client, never wrapped into our fees. Fixed pricing across the network. Engagement starts on a clean monthly billing cycle.
