Transforming Marketing at Sanko Gakuen with WACUL's Expertise
In a significant leap for educational marketing, Sanko Gakuen, an esteemed institution fostering skilled professionals in medical, childcare, sports, beauty, gastronomy, and IT sectors, has partnered with WACUL, a digital marketing transformation company. This collaboration has notably improved their conversion rates (CVR) by approximately 140% as they pivot towards an optimized marketing strategy.
Background of the Partnership
For years, Sanko Gakuen worked with a single support company. However, as the institution aimed for greater outcomes, it became apparent that a reevaluation of their operational structure, alongside fresh perspectives for improvement, was essential. They faced several hurdles: their site management predominantly focused on information updates, and they were not effectively utilizing data to implement a robust Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle for user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) enhancements.
Additionally, the institution confronted challenges due to resource shortages stemming from business expansion and an over-reliance on advertisements for attracting students. There was an increasing necessity to adopt a more comprehensive view of marketing at Sanko Gakuen to address these difficulties.
Achievements Post-Implementation
Following WACUL's implementation of data-driven improvements, Sanko Gakuen saw a remarkable uptick in CVR from 2024 to 2025. Utilizing quantitative evidence and visual interfaces significantly reduced the need for revisions, accelerating the execution speed of UI/UX enhancements.
By starting with UI improvements, they expanded into training programs and SEO initiatives, leading to an overarching approach to marketing that encompassed comprehensive strategies.
Insights from Sanko Gakuen
Ryohei Kawahara from the Public Relations Department of Sanko Gakuen shared, “Through our engagements, we discovered WACUL's potential to support us across various domains, including SEO, advertising, and human resources.

Additionally, Kawahara noted WACUL's ability to guide discussions even when challenges were not explicitly defined, stating, “Even when we feel a general sense of issues without clarity, their ability to identify underlying problems through conversation is incredibly appealing. We regard them as a trusted partner to consult whenever new challenges or areas of interest arise.”
Conclusion
The collaboration between Sanko Gakuen and WACUL heralds a new era in educational marketing. Their journey from individual optimizations to a holistic approach to marketing strategy not only enhances educational outreach but establishes a blueprint for other institutions aiming to revitalize their marketing methodologies.
