Veldfire Media’s niche expertise is booking advertising and other marketing on South African student media. We’ve been working with South Africa’s student media for 18 years and have built up excellent relationships with the staff and students at these radio stations, student websites and student newspapers.
Why use student media?
Student media is a woefully under-tapped opportunity for brands and companies to get seen by, and engage with, the leaders of tomorrow. Unlike regular commercial media that speaks to large generic audiences, student media is direct and personal.
Student media is media that is for students, by students.
