We help brands get noticed by millions of young people each year. From extending reach to new cohorts, or identifying particular groups who'd love your brand, our unrivalled data and multichannel campaigns can help your business stand out.
Build early relationships for lifetime value
Enjoy our unique access to millions of young people to convert new customers into lifelong fans. In one year alone, our website sees over 24,000,000 unique sessions* and over 1,000,000 young people register with us each year. We only work with busineses who align with our values, so they trust the brands we present.
Connect when they’re most engaged
We understand who young people are and what they want, as well as when they’re most likely to research and buy items for uni and apprenticeships. From events to digital campaigns, we’ll create a channel mix that connects your products and services with your target audience, when they’re most open to and interested in buying from new brands.
Reach the right audience
Place your brand in front of particular audiences when it matters most. Our precision-targeted campaigns – including over 200 audience filters – will help you identify, understand and reach those that will connect with your brand.
We understand trends in spending
We know that young people are preparing for and arriving at university with open minds, ready to enrich their lives with new phones, laptops, bank accounts, homewares, fashion and much more. We asked about their favourite brands and, once again, sustainability is front of mind. They’re loyal to ‘any brand that is sustainable or environmentally friendly’. Promoting your authentic ethics is important if you want to gain the trust of this savvy audience. Discover more in our Freshers Report 2022.
