Who we are
Candlefox was founded in 2011 with a simple belief: that finding the right education opportunity should be easier for learners, and that reaching the right students should be easier for providers.
Over the past 15 years, we’ve built six education marketplace brands across four countries, partnered with 240+ education institutions, and helped drive hundreds of thousands of student enrolments.
We’re an Australian EdTech company – recognised by HolonIQ in their Australia and New Zealand EdTech 50 – and a certified B Corp, which means we hold ourselves to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, not just commercial results.
How we do it
Our approach is built on three things: data, technology, and genuine education expertise.
Over a decade of marketplace data tells us what students search for, how they compare options, and what drives them to enquire. We use that intelligence to help providers reach the right students more efficiently.
On top of that, we build technology that makes student acquisition simpler. The Candlefox Marketing Hub gives providers real-time visibility over leads, spend, and performance. GabbyAI handles inbound enquiries, calls back web leads, and guides students toward enrolment 24/7.
We’re not a set-and-forget platform. We work as an extension of your team, with dedicated account management and a genuine stake in your growth.
