EdTech marketing agency in Fort Worth — serving the DFW metroplex

Name: Ichelon Global · EdTech Marketing Agency · Fort Worth
Price range: Custom-scoped

Ichelon Global runs marketing for K-12 platforms, higher-education vendors, tutoring networks and workforce-learning operators. Every campaign is architected against FERPA vendor obligations, COPPA under-13 targeting rules, CCPA opt-out cascades and state student-data privacy laws — because a FERPA breach or a COPPA complaint kills district procurement and campus contracts.

Fort Worth is the western anchor of the DFW metroplex — home to defence, energy and healthcare buyers, with a distinct commercial footprint stretching from Downtown and the Cultural District out to Alliance and the Near Southside medical corridor. Ichelon Global's Fort Worth-focused practice works with district CTOs, curriculum directors, university procurement heads, learning and development leaders and edtech founders across the wider North Texas footprint.

What we deliver in Fort Worth

Six edtech marketing services tailored for Fort Worth buyers

EdTech is a compliance-first category — a well-optimised campaign with a broken compliance layer is a fast route to a regulator letter. Our six-service delivery spine treats compliance as a design constraint, not an afterthought.

1. LinkedIn ABM to district admins

Account-based targeting filtered by district size, adoption cycle and existing curriculum stack. Creative reviewed for FERPA-vendor language. Meeting flows tuned to procurement timelines.

2. Parent-and-teacher content SEO

Long-form editorial covering curriculum standards, subject-matter education and product-comparison intent — written for parent, teacher and administrator query sets simultaneously.

3. COPPA-scoped Google Ads

K-12 campaign structure using verifiable-age audience controls. No behavioural remarketing on properties reaching under-13 users. Landing pages built for verifiable parental consent handoff.

4. FERPA-vendor data flow

CRM and analytics architecture scoped as a school-official-designated vendor where required. Data minimisation, direct-control language and retention limits documented per district contract.

5. Enrolment and adoption journey

Marketing operations tuned to procurement cycles — pilot request, RFI response, district demo scheduling, board-meeting readiness kits and post-decision onboarding flows.

6. State student-data compliance

Per-state matrix of student-data privacy laws — California SOPIPA, New York Ed Law 2-d, Illinois SOPPA, Colorado HB16-1423 and the newer state additions. Applied to any campaign asset touching a student surface.

The team behind your account

Every diagnostic is led by a founder.
You'll know their names before the engagement begins.

ICG was built by three IIT BHU engineers who entered healthcare marketing with a specific intent: to build the tools that didn't exist and run the campaigns that most agencies couldn't. When you book a diagnostic, Rohit or Abhash leads it personally. Not an account manager. Not a senior executive. The people who built what you're evaluating.

The ICG team — 60+ healthcare marketing specialists at Gurgaon HQ

60+ specialists.
One growth engine.

Performance marketers, analysts, AI engineers, content strategists, and operations specialists — all healthcare-only. Headquartered in Gurgaon since 2018.

Rohit Gupta

Business & Growth Lead & Director

IIT BHU · IIM Rohtak

Rohit's first question in every diagnostic: "When you ask your agency why patients aren't booking — what do they say?" He says the answer tells him more than any dashboard.

Abhash Kumar

Strategy & Analytics Lead & Director

IIT BHU · IIM Bangalore

Abhash built Beacon because most agencies couldn't answer one question: "Which of my campaigns generated that consultation?" He decided the problem was solvable in code. It was.

Deep Das

Technology & AI Lead & Director

Deep built the 4-Bot patient lifecycle system after watching a client lose 60+ qualified leads in one week to a 6-hour WhatsApp response window. He decided the problem was solvable in code. It was.

FAQ

EdTech marketing in Fort Worth — common questions

Are you treated as a FERPA-scoped school-official vendor?

Yes where the client engagement requires it. Vendor scoping language, direct-control obligations, data-minimisation and retention discipline are documented per contract.

How do you keep K-12 targeting COPPA-safe?

Verifiable-age audience controls, no behavioural remarketing on under-13-reaching properties and verifiable parental consent handled at the platform layer — not through the ad account.

How do you handle CCPA opt-outs?

Consent-mode integration with the client CMP. CCPA opt-outs cascade to ad platforms via the appropriate consent signal, and audience remarketing lists exclude opted-out users on the next sync.

Can you support district procurement cycles?

Yes. Marketing operations are tuned to procurement timelines — pilot requests, RFI responses, board-meeting readiness kits and post-decision onboarding flows.

Do you handle multi-state student-data privacy?

Per-state matrix covering California SOPIPA, New York Ed Law 2-d, Illinois SOPPA, Colorado HB16-1423 and newer state additions. Applied to every campaign asset touching a student surface.

What is a typical edtech engagement cost?

Retainers are custom-scoped per engagement · from Rs 20,000/month equivalent (approx USD 250 / AUD 370). Multi-district and cross-market edtech operators scale up from there.
