The Campus App started as an MVP-stage student platform with a clear challenge: build early awareness, trust, and student adoption without relying on paid media.
As the founding marketing lead, I built the marketing function from zero — including positioning, messaging, onboarding communication, student acquisition, referral-led growth, and multi-channel launch planning. The work focused on understanding student behaviour, identifying community gaps, shaping the product narrative, and creating a low-budget GTM system that could generate early traction through relevance, peer sharing, and campus-led storytelling.
The 0-budget growth approach helped drive 2,000+ account signups, +1,200% month-over-month install growth, a 70% referral rate, and a 27% average conversion rate through community-led acquisition and organic marketing.
