Case Study
Valley Forge Military College Modernizes Admissions with HubSpot
Challenge
Valley Forge Military Academy & College needed a more unified and scalable approach to managing admissions, marketing outreach, and prospective student engagement. Their existing systems relied heavily on fragmented processes, manual follow-ups, and disconnected communication channels, making it difficult for admissions and marketing teams to operate efficiently or gain visibility into performance.
The institution was also preparing for a time-sensitive October admissions campaign and needed a centralized platform that could support inquiry management, application workflows, lead nurturing, and reporting across departments. Additionally, Valley Forge Military College required integration support between HubSpot and Populi to improve data consistency and reduce administrative overhead.
The organization needed a trusted HubSpot implementation partner that could move quickly, establish operational structure, and ensure their teams were trained to use the platform effectively.
Solution
No Bounds Digital partnered with Valley Forge Military College to implement and configure HubSpot Sales Hub and Marketing Hub Professional as the foundation for a more connected admissions and marketing operation.
The project began with a full HubSpot onboarding and technical setup, including user permissions, email domain configuration, calendar integrations, tracking code implementation, and communication tool connectivity. No Bounds Digital also supported branding configuration and guided the client through best practices for imports, tracking, and campaign management.
To support admissions operations, No Bounds Digital designed multiple sales pipelines and configured automation workflows to streamline follow-up activities, task creation, internal notifications, and lead routing. Meeting scheduling, mobile functionality, call logging, and email templates were also implemented to help admissions teams engage prospects more efficiently.
On the marketing side, No Bounds Digital developed lead capture and conversion infrastructure using HubSpot forms, inquiry workflows, and campaign tracking. Multiple inquiry forms were recreated and configured inside HubSpot to support Valley Forge Military College’s recruitment initiatives and admissions campaigns.
The team also worked closely with stakeholders to ensure application workflows aligned with institutional requirements while maintaining compliance and security standards. During implementation, No Bounds Digital identified that submitted applications included Social Security Number fields, which were not supported within the client’s current HubSpot subscription level. The team proactively advised the client on secure data handling best practices and helped restructure the forms to remove sensitive data collection requirements.
To support campaign execution and reporting, No Bounds Digital configured dashboards and reporting tools across Sales and Marketing Hubs, enabling the admissions and marketing teams to monitor engagement, lead activity, and campaign performance in a centralized environment.
The implementation also included a HubSpot-to-Populi integration strategy, workflow planning, stakeholder training sessions, and ongoing onboarding guidance to help ensure long-term platform adoption across teams.
Results
Through the HubSpot onboarding and implementation project, Valley Forge Military College gained a centralized CRM and marketing automation platform capable of supporting both admissions and marketing operations more efficiently.
Key outcomes included:
- Consolidated admissions and marketing processes into a unified HubSpot environment
- Reduced manual lead management and follow-up activities through workflow automation
