Probably one of the best ways to execute the strategy for the brand was on Pinterest. What could be a better platform than Pinterest when it comes to sharing information in an appealing and attractive manner? We achieved that successfully by gaining 100+ followers!
We dedicated boards to each subject too, like Biology, Chemistry, etc.
