We can conduct any of the following Audits:
Our Audits Offer Tremendous Value
Detailed Reporting
Each audit includes a professional analysis of your marketing efforts with statistics and illustrative screen shots, giving a clear picture of performance and effectiveness.
A Wealth of New Ideas
We provide practical, easy-to-implement suggestions for improvements which are specific to your brand.
Through a solid, actionable list of recommendations for enhancements, you'll see how to intentionally incorporate your USPs (unique selling points) and brand messaging into social media posts, within your website, blog, or your marketing materials.
Personal Feedback and Support
Following the audit delivery, we'll schedule a conference call with you to run through our findings and answer any questions you may have regarding the results or implementing the suggestions.
We are also available to assist you if you need help executing the changes based on the audit results (e.g., re-writing content, editing web pages, using social media content calendars).
How Our Audits Help Enhance Your International Marketing Efforts
Latest tips and tricks
With marketing, social media, and tech trends changing so fast, it can be hard to keep up with the latest best practices.
Our audits let you benefit from our expertise so you can focus your time and efforts on executing what works.
Fresh set of eyes
Internal staff are often very close to the brand, so it can be difficult to see things with fresh eyes.
Our audits give you honest, unbiased feedback and first impressions of your brand’s effectiveness.
Many minds at work
Jackfruit Marketing's Audits are conducted by two or three people, so you have the benefit of multiple layers of expertise and several new points of view on what you're doing and how to improve it.
Fast and easy
We can conduct an audit in 1-3 weeks, so you can focus on your day-to-day responsibilities while we get to work.
You'll receive a report with an analysis and suggestions that are practical, easy to implement, and specific to your brand.
Be the best that you can be
Ever feel like you're probably doing a good job, but maybe things could be better, if only you could figure out what to change and how to do it?
We'll show you some quick wins as well as bigger enhancements which can give you richer results over a longer time frame.
Learning opportunities for you
By acting as best practice examples, our audits help increase your team’s knowledge and skills.
Staff will learn new ways to approach their marketing activities and receive personal guidance whilst executing changes.
The social media audit was really useful in that it gave me practical, easy to implement suggestions. It was also a great reminder or refresh of what I need to be doing, plus it gave me new things to try that I hadn’t thought of.

Brochure or Prospectus Audit
So much of our content lives in the digital space, but there's still a time and place for printed collateral. Many educators struggle with wordy brochures and overly detailed content. We'll show you how to refresh your old reliable printed materials in a way that gets your message across in a simple, straightforward, visual way.
These audits can also give you tips on interactive pdfs and supporting postcards, mail shots, product toolkits, as well as event materials (e.g. signage, banners, flyers).
Want to increase the engagement and ROI of printed materials? We’ll show you how to integrate Augmented Reality into the prospect journey – to grab a student’s attention and guide them deeper into the funnel and closer to your brand.

International Student Journey Audit
When was the last time you went through the application and enrolment process for your institution? Although you might think your processes are easy, there's a strong chance that prospective students and parents are getting lost along the way.
Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the student journey. Have you updated your journey maps for prospects, parents, students, and partners? If not, now’s the time to do so!
We can conduct a "secret shopper" experience for your brand, spotlighting moments where you're at risk of losing prospects in the recruitment funnel and providing you with pointers on how to create a seamless user journey.
Using a student’s point of view, we’ll map different journeys from awareness to enrolment and show you where to improve lead capture or engagement.
This audit also offers suggestions to help ensure your messaging, tone of voice, and branding is consistent across channels and platforms, even when customised for different international markets.
Finally, we can look at how your brand interacts with and engages students and parents as they progress through the funnel – from their first encounter to becoming an active alumni.
Alumni Journey Audit
Your alumni are your best brand ambassadors, yet often, institutions lose touch with them as university days and graduation drift into memory and “the real world” takes over.
This audit tracks your alumni communications from a student’s final weeks with you straight on through to the subsequent weeks, months and 5-10-20 years down the road.
We’ll also suggest different engagement strategies for various alumni cohorts and show you how to customise messaging for different alumni personas.
Tip!
Institutions that book this audit typically bundle it with one of our interactive training sessions in order to activate the audit findings and suggestions.
Capturing alumni stories 1-5-10+ years after graduation to boost engagement throughout the alumni lifecycle
Today’s graduates are extraordinarily different than alumni who left university decades ago. Does your institution have a strategy for various alumni cohorts and if so, what are the tactics? By tailoring messages to each alumni persona, you’ll boost engagement with your biggest brand champions at various stages in their lives. This interactive training session gets participants working together to brainstorm where and how to obtain alumni stories as well as how to strategically use them to fulfil internationalisation or fundraising objectives.
