Previous agencies failed. Growth was stuck.

The business school needed a partner who could generate millions of quality leads across Latin America — in Spanish — while keeping the cost per lead below $0.25. They'd been through multiple agencies and freelancers. None could deliver quality creative, native Spanish copy, or a system that scaled without costs spiraling.

They were spending $6,000–$8,000 per month and hitting a ceiling. The business couldn't grow because no one had built a system that could handle continental scale.

  • Cost per lead had to stay below $0.25 — every decision was built around this
  • Multiple countries — Mexico, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Argentina and more
  • Native Spanish creative needed — translated English doesn't convert in LATAM
  • Previous agencies couldn't deliver — quality and consistency were missing
  • Spend needed to scale 7× — from $7K to $55K/month without costs rising

Built a system that got cheaper as it grew.

Most agencies see costs go up when you spend more. We built a system where costs went down — because every dollar taught it something new. The cost per lead dropped from $0.25 to $0.20 while spend increased 7×.

01

The client focused on converting leads — we handled everything else

We built the entire lead generation engine so the business school could focus on what they do best: turning leads into students. They never had to worry about where the next lead was coming from.

02

Native Spanish ads — not translations

LATAM audiences don't respond to translated English copy. Every ad, every image, every hook was created natively in Spanish. We understood the difference between Mexican, Colombian, and Argentine audiences — and the creative reflected it.

03

We found buyers in every corner of Latin America

Started with Mexico and Dominican Republic. Then expanded into Colombia, Argentina, and smaller markets — each with its own approach. By the end, we were reaching 115 million people across the entire continent.

04

Fresh creative kept the costs low

When ads get stale, costs go up. We continuously produced new creative — over 350 images and videos across 36 months — so the audience always saw something fresh. That's what kept the cost per lead at $0.20 even at $55K/month spend.

"They needed leads. We gave them 5 million. And every month, the cost per lead went down — not up."

— Hannes, Hannes Media

From $7K/month to $55K/month — while costs dropped.

We scaled ad spend 7× over 3 years. Most agencies would have seen costs double. Ours went down 8%.

Phase 1 · Months 1–9
2.14 million leads — proof it works
Built the system, tested it across top LATAM countries. Generated 2.14 million leads at $0.23 each. $495K spent. The system worked — time to scale.
Phase 2 · Months 10–24
Expanded across the continent
Opened up Argentina, Colombia, and second-tier markets. Each country got its own approach. Scaled ad spend while costs held steady. The system got better with more data.
Phase 3 · Months 25–36
5.15 million leads — mission accomplished
$55K+/month running profitably. Cost per lead dropped to $0.20 — below the original $0.25 target. 1.58 billion impressions. 115 million people reached across Latin America.

What the previous agencies got wrong.

They translated. We created natively.

Previous agencies took English ads and translated them. That doesn't work in LATAM. We wrote everything from scratch in Spanish — understanding the cultural nuances of each market. That's why our ads converted and theirs didn't.

They ran out of ideas. We never did.

Most agencies create a handful of ads and hope they work forever. We produced fresh creative continuously for 36 months. When one ad got tired, the next one was already ready. That's why costs stayed low the entire time.

They chased vanity metrics. We chased cost per lead.

Impressions, clicks, engagement — none of that matters if the cost per lead is too high. Every decision we made was gated by one number: is the cost per lead below $0.25? If yes, scale. If no, fix it. Simple.

They treated LATAM as one market. We treated it as many.

Mexico is not Colombia is not Argentina. Each country has different costs, different audiences, different creative that works. We built separate approaches for each market and optimized them independently. That granularity is what made continental scale possible.

What this means for your business.

01

Scaling Doesn't Have to Mean Higher Costs

Most businesses accept that spending more means paying more per lead. That's not true with the right system. We spent 7× more and the cost per lead went down. The right approach gets more efficient as it grows.

02

If Previous Agencies Failed, the System Was Wrong

The business school had tried multiple agencies before us. Same market, same budget, same platform. The difference wasn't talent — it was system. A better system produces better results from the same ingredients.

03

Your Market Might Be Bigger Than You Think

This business school went from targeting a few countries to reaching 115 million people across an entire continent. If your product has potential beyond your current market, the right approach can unlock it.

04

Consistency Beats Intensity

This wasn't a 3-month sprint. It was 36 months of steady, profitable growth. The businesses that win long-term are the ones with systems that run consistently — not the ones chasing viral moments.
