Artium Academy is an online music education platform offering live 1:1 classes across vocals and instruments for learners in India and global markets. The platform operates a maestro-led curriculum with a faculty that includes nationally recognized artists across Indian classical, Western, and devotional music. With Sonu Nigam as a key stakeholder and brand partner, Artium Academy entered the market with significant credibility and an equally significant responsibility to get the communication right.
Artium Academy came to The Social Lions at launch stage, with no social media presence, no ad infrastructure, and no performance marketing framework in place. The brief required building the brand's entire digital foundation from the ground up and scaling it into a revenue-generating operation within a defined window.
The key objectives were:
Account and Infrastructure Setup
The Social Lions set up Artium Academy's social media accounts and ad accounts across Meta, Google, and LinkedIn. Tracking infrastructure was established through Mixpanel and Google Analytics, best SEO practices giving the brand full visibility into campaign performance, user behavior, and conversion pathways from the first day of activity.
Brand Positioning and Communication Framework
Given Sonu Nigam's role as a key stakeholder and brand partner, the tone and positioning of all outgoing communication required careful calibration. The Social Lions developed a brand communication framework that balanced the weight of the faculty association with messaging accessible to students, parents, and adult learners at every stage of their decision. All content was vetted against Artium Academy's brand guidelines before going live on any channel.
Content Strategy and Content Buckets
The Social Lions structured content across multiple buckets covering learner motivation, course discovery, teacher credibility, music genre awareness, and student outcomes. Each bucket was designed to serve a distinct audience segment and stage of the learner journey, from first awareness through to enrollment consideration.
Creative Production
The Social Lions worked on brand films and ad asset creation across all active platforms. Multiple creative formats were developed in parallel to support Meta, Google, and LinkedIn campaigns, including video, static, and carousel formats built to platform specifications and mapped to audience intent at each funnel stage.
Performance Marketing
Paid campaigns ran across Meta, Google, and LinkedIn, targeting students, parents, and adult learners based on interest, intent, and geography. Campaign creative, audience architecture, and bidding strategy were managed by The Social Lions throughout the engagement, with ongoing optimization informed by the Mixpanel and Google Analytics dashboards set up at launch.
The Social Lions took Artium Academy from zero digital presence to a scaled, revenue-generating platform in eight months.
₹50 lakh per month in revenue - Artium Academy scaled from zero to Rs. 50 lakh in monthly revenue within eight months of the engagement starting, across an entirely new performance marketing infrastructure.
Zero to fully operational across Meta, Google, and LinkedIn - ad accounts, social media accounts, and tracking infrastructure were activated and running from the ground up with no prior digital footprint.
43,000+ global learners - Artium Academy's platform reflects a learner base of over 43,000 students across India and international markets, built on a digital presence that did not exist before this engagement.
Multi-platform campaign coverage - performance campaigns ran simultaneously across Meta, Google, and LinkedIn with platform-specific creative assets, distinct audience strategies, and a unified analytics layer tracking every rupee of spend to outcome.
The commercial result was not just revenue at scale. It was a repeatable, traceable performance marketing system that Artium Academy could operate and grow from independently.
The team has been really instrumental and gave us time and attention that was required as a startup. We are glad that we were able to built something really solid and setup the foundation right with TSL .
