1. IntroductionSocial media refers to Internet and smartphone-based platforms and technology that allow people to connect with one another as well as share information and ideas. Creating communities or networks, as well as encouraging participation and engagement, are all part of what social media is all about, as the term implies (Gosal et al., 2019). From the above definition, brands must use a range of digital media channels to attract and engage prospects and customers in order to connect and develop communities. It also made mention of the difficulty in persuading people to participate (Ansari & Khan, 2020).

1.1 Purpose of the StudyThe purpose of this report is twofold: First, it aims to identify an idea for new products and other concepts that may improve existing products. Secondly, marketing media insights will be employed in developing content for a webpage, a Facebook page posting, and a Google text ad to market a newly conceived idea. Online learning has garnered a lot of attention in the last 2 years. As a result, services provided have required the use of social media marketing to attract potential consumers.

1.2 Justification for the ResearchThe insight-driven service analyzed in this report is a new online course targeting fresh college students. The idea is to improve online learning through personalized services and marketing the same as the future of college education. Marketing media insights are important in such an endeavor because they will enable the brand to closely monitor their communication message as well as the people targeted in digital platforms including the webpage, Facebook, and via Google Ads.

2. Marketing Media Insight-Driven Idea

2.1 Details of the Insight-Driven Idea for the ProductCOVID-19 was a major industry disruptor in the education sector. It forced colleges and other institutions of higher learning to quickly implement and adapt to a fully online-based curriculum. One of the many advantages of online learning is the ability to reach a large number of students in a participatory manner. Other advantages include: increasing the efficiency of teaching and learning through technology, increasing the efficiency of e-Learning administration, lowering public expenditure on training and education, and increasing the efficiency of research, among other things (Al Arif, 2019). However, the learning and teaching processes was not without usual teething problems. For example, there is a notable lack of motivation amongst learners (Bali & Musrifah, 2020), infrastructural issues (Fauzi & Khusuma, 2020), technical issues relating to digital literacy (Putra, 2021), a lack of connection through in-person interactions (Dhawan, 2020), and poor course structures and quality (Singh & Thurman, 2019). From these insights, a survey conducted by García-Morales, Garrido-Moreno, and Martín-Rojas (2021) found that students are eager to return to the traditional system of brick and mortar learning, an issue that may put several institutions and employees at risk of losing their jobs. To improve the online learning problems, the report looks at ways to especially enhance better in-person interactions through personalized learning programs, and addressing course structures and quality of learning to adapt to the new demands in education.

2.2 Market Research Processes and Analytics Procedures: Voice of Customer (VoC)Voice of customer relates to a business’ need and strategy to listen and address the issues mentioned by customers. In this case, learners make the customer base for online learning institutes. From the gathering of information and understanding their feedback, Peters et al. (2020) found that more than 47% of current university students prefer a more interactive system of learning, terming the online learning process as too detached and poor in terms of engaging the student. Marketing media channels such as social media, news, search, and blogs indicate that despite the movement away from traditional learning, consumers in the learning environment still look forward to a return to ‘normalcy’ regarding their learning structures. As a result, it is important that improvements be made to ensure better consumer feedback and satisfaction through personalization of learning process, more interactive learning, engagement, and improved quality.

2.3 Potential Value to Customers and Value to the FirmProviding helpful products and services to students may aid in increasing sales, increasing their loyalty, and enhancing the reputation of a school, among other things. Improvements in customer service, advertising, digital marketing, or any other area allow a variety of strategies that schools may employ to raise the value of their consumers (Foroudi et al., 2019). It is possible that learning how to provide value to a customer’s experience will have a substantial impact on an organization’s long-term performance and survival. Clients may reap the advantages of higher-quality education, affiliation with a prestigious school known for its excellence, superior learning outcomes, and a greater total return on their investment.

3. Marketing Media Insight-Driven Content

3.1 Step by Step Process for Keyword ResearchInstitute XYZ of Business Technology is responsible for posting the product/service specifics on the internet if the insight-driven concept of incorporating a more personalized system of learning is adopted, resulting in a better service delivery of course concepts that is ready for sale. In practice, when generating online text content for services, firms require a search engine optimization (SEO) approach, which means they optimize content for organic listings as well as exposure on social networking platforms (Wedel & Kannan, 2016). For the purpose of creating search engine optimized content, the marketing team often develops a keyword research methodology that is also used when creating text content. In a step-by-step process for keyword research, the phases include: identifying a comprehensive list of all words and phrases that apply to online learning indicative of a searcher being interested in pursuing a course. The next step includes expanding the list to include relative search volumes for every keyword (Katz, 2016). Here, more personalization and quality words and their related searchers will be added. Then, the list will be prioritized, categorized, and the preferred landing pages identified. Over time, the keywords list would be refined.

3.2 Customized Keyword Research for the New ProductThe quality of keywords may make the difference between winning and losing in a marketing campaign and a time-consuming waste of effort and resources. It will be the keywords chosen for the newly upgraded online programs for Institute XYZ of Business Technology that will decide the whole SEO marketing plan from start to finish. The first step will be to conduct a study of the niche for online learning. The idea is to get an out-of-the-box idea and aid in discovering more angles to the SEO and marketing strategies applicable to online learning. In this process, there will be a market survey of talking with current students to know their demands better, thinking from their perspective, and getting online communities involved in a discussion. A list of important and relevant topics founded on online learning will be made. Then, the topics will be filled with key words. The chosen topics are: online learning, improved online e-learning services, interactive courses, enhanced university courses, best business schools, modern e-learning institutions, and improved college structures. With these topic buckets, keywords will be identified that fall into the various categories. WordStream’s Free Keyword Tool, Keworddit, AnswerThePublic, and Google Keyword Planner will be used to conduct keyword research. They are presented in table 1 below.
