Awakened Learning’s approach to working with clients is modern, holistic, and unlike traditional methods. Customers are often unfamiliar with the techniques or terminology that comes up when expressing this approach. Clients who feel confused are less likely to covert to personalized coaching.
lead Magnets
Problem
approach
To capitalize on common search queries from students and parents looking for academic support, we’ve evolved many of Dr. Deena’s concepts and strategies into free downloadable guides. These guides appear as solutions to long tail searches like “why do I feel so tired at school” and “how do i get my child to focus better”.
Potential future clients are met with seemingly personalized support at no cost, building trust while simultaneously becoming familiarized with the Awakened Learning brand and key messaging.

Gated content
Awakened Learning spends a generous amount of time and effort on community oriented digital events. Each month, audiences are invited to join virtual workshops that sometimes span multiple days or weeks for a nominal fee. Sign ups are often inconsistent and improving repeat attendance is a clear goal.
Problem
approach
Customers have the option to sign up to an exclusive content area that lives behind a paywall. Members can choose from monthly or “semesterly” billing, with both plans containing access to monthly workshops, live events, digital downloads, and more members-only benefits. Workshops are delivered as pre-recorded videos, saving Awakened Learning’s team time and resources that would otherwise be needed to facilitate this type of event. Customers get all of this for less than two regularly priced workshops, while Awakened Learning receives the benefits of hesitation-free conversion every month.
Website design
Awakened Learning is still evolving as a brand. Since 2024, their website has gone through two major design changes, both aimed at educating and connecting with customers on a deeper level. They continue to expand their offerings and experiment with ways to make learning more equitable and accessible, which requires rigorous communication.
Problem
approach
Blending expert authority with warmth and approachability is no easy task. The website is set up to be an interconnected experience, guiding visitors to different resources and entry points to revenue streams. Soft pink colour schemes and radial gradient animations beckon to the maternal, nurturing, and instinctive aspects of the brand while polished graphics and logical layouts reinforce a sense of trust.
