Unified enrollment view

FourthRev is a UK-based education technology company building career accelerator programs in partnership with top universities — including LSE and King's College London — and leading technology companies. Their programs span data science, data analytics, product management, UX design, and digital marketing, combining project-based learning with industry certifications and career coaching. Founded to address the skills gap of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, FourthRev operates across Australia, the UK, and the US, and is actively expanding its program portfolio.

The Challenge

Fragmented enrollment data across CRMs and ad platforms


FourthRev needed a unified view of marketing performance across programs and university partners to optimize spend, improve enrollment attribution, and identify the highest-converting channels by program. Their data landscape made this nearly impossible.


Enrollment and marketing data were siloed across CRM and three ad platforms (Meta, Google, LinkedIn). Inconsistency in lead identifiers across sources made attribution from first touch to enrollment nearly impossible. Variance in data definitions across programs produced misaligned reporting and hundreds of inconsistent fields in CRM.

The Solution

A unified enrollment view powered by e:cue


e:cue integrated all data sources across CRM, ad platforms, and email performance into a single enrollment view. The transformation involved three critical layers:


  • Standardized lead identifiers : aligning lead IDs across program data sets so first-touch through enrollment can finally be tracked.

  • Multi-touch attribution logic : mapping each enrollment back to its channel, program, and cohort.

  • Unified performance layer : reducing fragmented reporting tables into one clean marketing performance layer.



Cue in Action

Clean data powering instant answers


With unified data flowing into Cue, the FourthRev team could ask natural-language questions and get instant, accurate answers. When marketing asked for the average lag from sales-qualified to application submission by program, Cue returned a per-program breakdown with median, average, and actionable next steps in seconds.

Cue, what is the average time from sales-qualified to application submission, by program, for the last three months? Report elapsed time in hours.
Cue
SQL to application lag, by program
Average elapsed time in hours, last three months. Program 1 sits well above the cohort and is the clear bottleneck:
152 hr
Program 1 (highest avg)
112 hr
Program 3 avg (median 24)
107 hr
Program 4 avg
120 hr
Program 2 avg
30 hr
Program 7 (lowest median)
Recommendation: Targeted outreach. For high-lag programs (Program 1, Program 2, Program 3), introduce automated prompts or pre-filled application links immediately upon qualification to reduce friction.

The Results

From fragmented partners to a single source of truth

With unified data and Cue's conversational analytics, FourthRev gained a clear, program-level view of how marketing spend converts into enrollments, and where the funnel breaks down between qualification and application.

Channel optimization

Spend rebalanced toward the highest-converting channels by program and cohort.

Staffing-ratios

Enabled updated enrollment staffing ratios to match real lead volume based on lead quality.

Program-level lag

Bottlenecks between SQL and application surface in seconds, ready for targeted outreach.

Multi-touch attribution

Every enrollment mapped back to its originating channel, program, and cohort.
