The client

Hospitality and information management, taught in Chitwan

Aarambha College in Bharatpur, Chitwan, is affiliated to Tribhuvan University and specialises in two career-focused degrees: the Bachelor of Hotel Management (BHM) and the Bachelor of Information Management (BIM).

Its teaching is built around industry: practical training, faculty drawn from the field, a career lab, scholarships and placement support. For students in Chitwan and the surrounding districts, it offers a way to earn a professional degree without moving to Kathmandu.

The brief

Why Aarambha came to us

Every year many of Chitwan’s best students leave for Kathmandu, assuming the strongest colleges must be there. Aarambha needed to change that assumption, and to reach students and parents at every step between hearing its name and applying.

Competing with the pull of Kathmandu

Students and parents in Chitwan often look to Kathmandu first. Aarambha had to show, across every channel, that a specialist college at home could offer the same or better career outcomes.

Two specialist degrees to explain

BHM and BIM are less familiar than general management degrees, so students needed clear answers on what they are, what they cost and where they lead.

Admission seasons are short

Enquiries have to be generated in a few intense windows each year, so every channel had to be ready in time.

Many channels, one small team

Website, search, social media, paid ads and printed material all needed to tell the same story without overloading the college’s own staff.

AI and search answering first

Students increasingly ask Google and AI tools course questions before they visit any college website.
