Results that speak for themselves

📍 Case Study · International School · KL & Penang

When we joined an international school with two campuses in Kuala Lumpur and Penang in early 2025, it had a dysfunctional CRM, enquiries managed over WhatsApp with no follow-up system, and some families waiting months for a response.

Within 6 months, across both campuses simultaneously, the admissions, marketing and communications function was rebuilt from the ground up: new team, new systems, new data culture.

The results below are measured, not estimated, tracked in dashboards built during the engagement.

A blend of creativity, pedagogy & operational leadership

Anaïs brings a distinctive combination of skills to school consulting: she has lived every side of the challenge, as a creative director, linguist, teacher, cultural diplomat, and admissions lead.

"Every method has been tested live, on two campuses simultaneously, with measured results."

Data-driven from day one. Tracking systems built from scratch, so results are measured, not estimated.

Bicultural advantage. European and Asian context with deep cross-cultural competency.

Part-time, full-impact. Embedded support without a full-time hire: cost-effective and immediate.

Exclusively yours. Schools are never shared or cross-referenced, so your strategy stays yours.

No product, no lock-in. I don't sell software or tools. I work with your existing systems and recommend solutions that fit your budget.
