American College of Education Aces CTV Performance with MNTN

With a mission to deliver high-quality, affordable, and accessible online programs, American College of Education (ACE) prides itself on putting the satisfaction of its students first. The institution specializes in graduate programs for working adults and has carved out a unique position in higher education. Their advertising strategy mirrors this innovation, relying on rigorous testing and optimization to reach and acquire new students. However, a previous foray into Connected TV (CTV) left them disappointed when the platform they used didn’t align with their deliberate approach to advertising. What they really needed was self-serve accessibility and transparent performance insights to fuel strategic decisions.

In MNTN Performance TV they found exactly what they’d been looking for — an advertising solution that combined television’s reach with digital’s attribution and control. By embracing MNTN’s software and solutions, ACE turned CTV into a high-performing channel during the competitive back-to-school (BTS) season and throughout the year.

Our Connected TV strategy has become a powerful part of our media mix, consistently supporting upper-funnel momentum and influencing downstream conversions. We’ve seen clear performance patterns that align with the type of lift we expect from awareness channels — reinforcing its role in long-term lead development and brand engagement.

Objective

Break Through Competitive Noise to Drive New Student Acquisition

As a fully online institution operating in a competitive higher education landscape, ACE needed to stand out against larger, more established universities — without compromising their data-driven approach to marketing. With unique enrollment cycles that don’t always align with traditional academic timelines, ACE relies on tailored strategies that maximize visibility during peak demand periods. This required a highly segmented audience approach across key professional markets — such as education, healthcare, and business — as well as robust tools to track and optimize campaign performance with confidence.
