The Challenge

What Problem Needed to be Solved

Despite ALLEN's legendary status in Kota, the Delhi-NCR coaching market presented unique and formidable challenges:

  • New Market, New Trust: Delhi parents and students were deeply loyal to established local coaching brands. ALLEN needed to rapidly build credibility and awareness in a hyper-competitive market with thousands of coaching centres.
  • Simultaneous Multi-Front Launch: 11 centres were being launched across geographically diverse locations — each needing local relevance and city-wide awareness at the same time.
  • Validating Quality Through Results: The most powerful proof point in the coaching industry is student results. The campaign needed to convert JEE Main 2023 topper achievements into maximum media visibility — quickly, before the news cycle moved on.
  • Standing Out in a Crowded News Cycle: The JEE Main 2023 result declaration created a burst of competing announcements from FIITJEE, Resonance, Aakash, and other institutes. ALLEN's story needed to break through the clutter and dominate the narrative.
  • Building Parent-Facing Authority: Unlike youth brands, coaching PR must equally address parents — who are the primary decision-makers. Media placements needed to appear in publications that parents trust: Times of India, The Week, PTI, Hindustan Times, and The Hans India.
  • Speed of Execution: Result-based PR campaigns have a 24–72 hour window. The press release needed to go live, get amplified across 70+ platforms, and generate measurable traction within days of the NTA announcing the JEE Main 2023 results.

Solution & Strategy

01

Solution

Elevate One Media crafted a precision-executed, topper-centric PR strategy timed to the minute with the NTA's JEE Main 2023 result declaration on April 29, 2023. The core insight: in the competitive coaching market, one genuine topper story is worth more than a hundred advertisements. Our strategy was to make Malay Kedia's achievement not just a press release — but a national proof point for ALLEN Delhi's quality.

Key Actions Executed:

  • Crafted a Compelling Press Release headlined "ALLEN Delhi's Malay Gets All India Rank-4" — strategically framing the AIR-4 achievement as a validation of ALLEN Delhi's classroom programme, positioning the branch as already delivering Kota-level results within its very first year in Delhi-NCR[1]
  • Developed a rich student profile including Malay Kedia's personal background (Ghaziabad resident, perfect 300/300 score, 99% in Class 10, NTSE Scholar, KVPY AIR-6) to create a relatable, multi-dimensional human interest story[2]
  • Pitched to PTI (Press Trust of India), securing wire syndication that automatically pushed the story to hundreds of downstream publications — maximising reach with a single high-authority placement[3]
  • Secured placement in The Week (DA 78, 10.46 lakh monthly traffic) — reaching the premium, decision-making parent demographic[3]
  • Achieved Devdiscourse/PTI coverage (DA 61, 9.29 lakh monthly traffic) providing additional PTI wire amplification[3]
  • Placed in Times of India (via NewsVoir syndication) — India's largest English newspaper — giving the story maximum credibility and organic search visibility[4]
  • Amplified via WebIndia123 (DA 69, 38.8 lakh monthly traffic) for mass digital reach[3]
  • Distributed to DailyHunt (DA 60, 1.48 crore+ monthly traffic) — India's largest news aggregator — ensuring the story reached vernacular and semi-urban audiences[3]
  • Coordinated parallel social media amplification via ALLEN's official Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X channels, turning the press release into a multi-platform brand moment[5][6]
  • Total Release Date: May 1, 2023 — executed with a 77-publication simultaneous blast within 48 hours of the result declaration[3]

Strategy

Beyond the topper-led campaign, Elevate One Media anchored ALLEN Delhi's brand entry in the NCR market through a sustained, multi-wave PR programme running throughout early 2023. This broader campaign focused on positioning ALLEN not merely as a new entrant, but as India's most result-driven coaching institution, now available at the doorstep of Delhi-NCR students.

Key Actions Executed:

  • Delhi-NCR Expansion Launch PR (February 2023): Executed a high-impact press campaign around ALLEN's launch of 11 simultaneous study centres in Delhi-NCR, with an orientation session at Siri Fort Auditorium, New Delhi. Coverage secured in Times of India, Education Times, Hindustan Times Syndication, 5 Dariya News and 20+ regional publications[7][8]
  • Positioned ALLEN Director Rajesh Maheshwari as a thought leader with direct quotes in national media, articulating ALLEN's vision for Delhi-NCR: "The principles and quality education with which Allen works hard in Kota will work hard in Delhi as well"[8]
  • ALLEN Digital Live Courses Launch (March 2023): Amplified the admission announcement for ALLEN Digital's online live courses across Business Standard (DA 93), The Print (DA 87), and The Week (DA 78) — reaching both offline and digital education audiences simultaneously[9]
  • Leveraged Economic Times platform when the Finance Minister visited ALLEN Career Institute's Kota campus, generating brand association with national policy-level conversations[9]
  • Maintained a consistent media presence through ALLEN's official news portal (allen.in) alongside third-party PR placements — creating a complementary owned and earned media strategy[10]
  • Cross-platform approach: Coordinated all PR with ALLEN's social media channels (Facebook: 6M+ followers, Instagram, YouTube: 1.83M subscribers) for maximum amplification — each press placement was shared, reshared, and transformed into video content and topper testimonials[11]

For a brand entering a new and fiercely competitive market, this consistent national media presence translated directly into parent trust, student enrolments, and ALLEN Delhi's rapid establishment as the region's most credible coaching destination.
