Reach students online with the help of student media. Campus radio stations and news sites are great ways to get the word out about events, activities and promotions on and around campus.
By using the social media of radio stations and advertising on campus news sites, you can effectively reach students online in an engaging way that won’t be blocked by the browser ad blocker.
Social Media
Leverage the power of campus radio social followings. Student stations have strong interaction with their audiences and enjoy strong support on social media.
Website adverts
Covid sped up the shift from printed student newspapers towards online. Many former campus newspapers now operate online and offer banners and other sponsorships.
