CENTRIC has been successful in leveraging the brand with English, Spanish, and Vietnamese media strategies that include out of home, radio, print and digital media strategies including pre-roll, CTV, display, paid search, paid and organic social. During the last 7 years of our partnership, we have been able to achieve a profitable ROI and consistent enrollment for Altus Schools with our media buying strategies. CENTRIC tracks enrollments by resource center, by ethnicity, and medium. Based on month-end enrollments and resource center capacity provided by Altus, digital targeting is updated to allocate higher percentages in areas with open seats.
